Support Henry Ngwena's 5,000 km Vegan Mission in Tanzania

Help Build a Compassionate Future for Animals in Tanzania!

Dear Friends, Compassionate Hearts, and Animal Lovers,

My name is Henry Ngwena, and I have been living a vegan lifestyle since 2021. This journey has not only transformed my diet but has ignited a fire within me—a passion for animal rights and the unwavering belief that we can create a better world for all living beings. This conviction led me to establish the Tanzania Vegan Community Organization, an initiative aimed at spreading the message of veganism and helping others discover the truth about the impact of our choices on animals, the environment, and our health.

Since the inception of my organization, I have been fortunate to receive support from compassionate volunteers from around the globe, including Australia, Norway, Italy, France, and Germany. Together, we've launched various programs to raise awareness, promote vegan living, and lead by example. One of our most impactful projects has been a farm initiative, showcasing how we can thrive without exploiting innocent animals.

Today, I am embarking on a new and exciting venture: a bike tour across Tanzania lasting more than 4 months. This journey will cover over 5,000 kilometers and aims to raise awareness about veganism, animal rights, and the environmental benefits of plant-based living. The message I carry during this ride is not just for myself but for every animal in need of a voice—an opportunity for us all to stand up for those who cannot stand up for themselves.

I am reaching out to ask for your support in this ambitious venture. My goal is to raise $10,000 through a charity challenge where I invite you to contribute $2 for every kilometer I ride. The funds raised will be crucial in establishing a dedicated space for our vegan community—a sanctuary for rescued animals, a home for our growing community, and a place to host international friends who share our love for animals and commitment to a vegan lifestyle.

Here’s how your generous contributions will be allocated:

Building a Vegan Sanctuary: A safe haven for animals in need, providing them with love, care, and protection.

Community Home Base: Establishing a welcoming space for vegans in Tanzania to gather, share resources, and support one another.

Hosting and Supporting Friends: Creating a facility that allows us to welcome international activists and volunteers who wish to join us in making a difference.

Educational Programs: Developing workshops and outreach efforts to educate our community about the benefits of veganism and animal welfare.

My dedication to this cause is deeply personal. In 2024, I faced the heartbreaking loss of my home, and I experienced the struggle of homelessness for a month. This experience showed me the importance of community, support, and resilience. I have emerged from this challenge with renewed determination to create a strong foundation for veganism in Tanzania. This bike tour is not just a physical journey; it is a commitment to advocating for the vulnerable and inspiring others to join our movement.

Together, we can make a significant impact. Your support, no matter how big or small, will bring us closer to our goal. Each dollar you contribute brings us one step closer to establishing a sanctuary for animals and a thriving community for those who choose compassion over cruelty.

Join me on this journey. Let’s pedal towards a brighter future for our world, one kilometer at a time. Together, we can amplify our message and show that love knows no boundaries. Thank you for considering supporting my bike tour—I am forever grateful for your compassion and generosity.

As the founder of Tanzania Vegan Community, I, Henry Ngwena, My mission is to travel 5,000 kilometers by bike, visiting over 4,000 villages, five big cities, and countless small towns, to reach an estimated 7 million people.
