Your Help Can Save Over 1,000 Donkeys in the Drought Dear friends, Across Central Tanzania, a silent crisis is tightening its grip. The rains have failed. The land has cracked. Grass has vanished. And now, donkeys and cattle—animals entire families depend on—are trying to survive by grazing on bare sand. This is not an image chosen for effect. It is the reality our long-time partners are reporting from the field. Kindly donate today! Animals First Aid is reaching out today in partnership with the Tanzania Animal Welfare Society (TAWESO), a trusted organization that has stood beside Tanzania’s animals and communities for decades. Even for those accustomed to hardship, this prolonged drought has pushed conditions beyond what local families can manage alone. More than 1,000 animals are already visibly affected, weakened by hunger, dehydration, and the slow collapse of grazing land and water sources.

For working animals like donkeys and cattle, this crisis is devastating. When a donkey collapses, a household loses transport, access to markets, and income in a single moment. When cattle weaken or die, food security disappears. This is why TAWESO has moved quickly to prepare emergency feeding, water provision, and veterinary care—but the scale of need now exceeds what they can sustain without urgent outside support. Like our recent work with OCI, this campaign is about preventing total collapse before it becomes irreversible. It is about stepping in early enough to stabilize animals, protect livelihoods, and stop suffering from turning into mass loss. Kindly donate today!

Your support today will have direct, measurable impact on the ground: A gift of $35 (≈ €32 / £27) helps provide emergency water and feed for one donkey or cow for several critical days, keeping them alive while conditions worsen. A gift of $75 (≈ €69 / £58) supports emergency feeding and basic veterinary checks for multiple animals already showing signs of severe weakness. A gift of $150 (≈ €138 / £116) helps fund mobile response efforts—fuel, transport, and supplies—so TAWESO teams can reach remote areas where animals are already collapsing. A gift of $300 (≈ €276 / £232) contributes to sustained emergency care for dozens of animals, including feed, water access, and urgent veterinary treatment during the peak of the drought. Kindly donate today! Credit: Tanzania Animal Welfare Society (TAWESO) If TAWESO’s work has ever mattered to you, this is the moment to act. For many of you, TAWESO is not a new name. You have stood with them through difficult years, knowing their work is steady, honest, and deeply rooted in the communities they serve. That long-term trust is exactly why this moment matters so much. Slow emergencies are often the ones that do the most damage, simply because they are easier to overlook. Kindly donate today! Credit: Tanzania Animal Welfare Society (TAWESO) The animals of Central Tanzania are running out of time. Animals First Aid is committed to standing shoulder-to-shoulder with TAWESO, just as we have with frontline partners across Tanzania. But this intervention depends on the friends who understand that real impact comes from showing up consistently—especially when the crisis is uncomfortable, prolonged, and hard to witness. Kindly donate today! We cannot do this without you. If TAWESO’s work has ever mattered to you, this is the moment to act. The animals of Central Tanzania are running out of time, and the partners who have never failed them before cannot fail them now.
