Tanzania projects

VETAID works with Maasai pastoralists in Tanzania who have been increasingly marginalised by the encroachment of crop farmers and wildlife parks on their traditional grazing lands.

Because they no longer have access to adequate pasture their traditional disease control methods are no longer effective. This threatens the health of cattle on which they depend for their survival. With the reduction in government veterinary health services, rurally based animal health support is almost non-existent.

VETAID’s main goal in Tanzania is to help the people establish a community based system by which they can provide animal health services themselves. We also work with pastoralist organisations to enable them to participate more fully in the local and national decision-making that affects their lives.
