Mission

TAJDO's main mission is to make a lasting difference to the welfare of street dogs in Zanzibar/Tanzania. TAJDO puts its commitment into action by producing dog bars and placing them in strategic locations. These dog bars are made by dedicated locals from locally available materials and feature a thoughtful design. Each dog bar contains two areas: one for dog food and one for fresh water. The aim is to ensure that street dogs receive a healthy diet and sufficient water, as they have the right to do so.

To ensure that this mission is successful, the TAJDO team conducts tours in Zanzibar/Tanzania every two weeks. During these tours, the dog bar locations are visited, checked and provided with fresh water and dog food. This ensures that the street dogs are always well cared for.

Another mission of TAJDO is to bring street dogs into the hearts of people.

In many parts of Zanzibar/Tanzania, with a strong Muslim culture, street dogs are often seen as "unclean" and only tolerated if they are deemed useful. These prejudices and misconceptions have led to street dogs being frequently neglected and mistreated. But an organization like TAJDO has made it its mission to open people's hearts and raise awareness about the welfare of street dogs.

TAJDO aims not only to give street dogs a better life, but also to encourage people to respect and protect these animals.
