Donate | Educate | Volunteer
For over 10 years, Tin Can Town has been working in the township of Blikkiesdorp in Cape Town, helping thousands of sick, injured, and malnourished dogs and cats.
TCT is led by its founder, Clarina Hannekom, who is highly respected in the Blikkiesdorp community. The TCT team consists people sharing the same passion: to help animals and people who lack resources and basic amenities.
Many of our volunteers are residents of Blikkiesdorp who have become animal heroes in their community. Our motto: “Each one teach one” — we believe that everyone has goodness in them and a desire to grow and improve, and that we all learn from one another. Education is key to transforming society, and everyone has the ability to both learn and teach.
TCT survives solely through the support and funding of its donors. Food, veterinary supplies, collars, beds, and more must be purchased on a monthly basis. TCT needs your help to stay alive and thriving.
We welcome volunteers to join our monthly Sunday outreaches, which will challenge what you think you know about dogs and cats — offering you a unique perspective rarely experienced elsewhere.
Each One Teach One
On the first Sunday of every month, without fail, Tin Can Town is on the ground in Blikkiesdorp for our monthly outreach.
Our mission is simple but vital: we assist the animals of Blikkiesdorp and the surrounding areas by providing food, dipping dogs for mange and ticks, deworming and treating puppies and kittens for fleas and ticks, treating wounds, assessing injuries, and — most importantly — offering education on animal care to the local community.
In the weeks leading up to each outreach, our team works hard to fundraise and gather the supplies we need, while also responding to emergencies whenever possible.
Your support helps make this life-changing work possible.
