    Description

    Helping Animals, Making a Difference
    • * Please note this volunteering opportunity has a daily fee for board and lodging **

    If you love dogs, want to meet friendly baboons, talk with parrots and feed carrots to donkeys and horses, then this is the volunteering opportunity for you.

    The Twala Trust Animal Sanctuary in Zimbabwe is home to 52 different species and over 400 rescued birds and animals. We are a one-of-a-kind Sanctuary in Africa, located in beautiful Zimbabwe outside the capital Harare.

    • Volunteering at Twala gives you an opportunity to be part of our mission to offer all animals and birds in need a safe haven

    . You will also be part of a community program that transforms the lives of rural dogs, and you'll learn more about conservation in our beautiful country.

    We have places for volunteers of all ages, from all backgrounds. There is a daily charge for board and lodging, and you will live on site in a comfortable volunteer house, with all meals provided by our fabulous cook, who can cater easily for particular dietary needs.

    Volunteers help by:

    • preparing food for our animals
    • helping give medicines and treatments
    • walking our Waggley Tail Club to the dam on our premises
    • helping with animal rescues
    • working alongside staff and other volunteers
    • helping staff with cleaning of enclosures and providing animal enrichment
    • meeting fellow animal advocates and making friends from around the world.

    With only 5 volunteers at any time, your experience will be hands-on, rewarding and life changing. We recommend a minimum two week stay at Twala. Many of our volunteers stay a month or more. There is a small, daily fee to cover the cost of food and board. All details will be provided when you express interest, with more info on our Volunteer Page at https://www.facebook.com/AnimalSanctuaryVolunteers/ or email Sarah Carter at twalavolunteering@gmail.com

    Help us continue with our habitat of happiness.
