"WECare are going to save the world, one animal at a time!" Janey Lowes, very optimistic founding member of WECare Worldwide. We dream of providing healthcare for all animals in desperate need of help around the world. Yes, we know it's a big dream, but anything is possible when we all come together! WECare Worldwide is an organisation set up by Westway Veterinary Group, the largest veterinary practice in the North of England. Ultimately, WECare Worldwide plan to extend veterinary services around the globe but initially will be concentrating on tacking the issues with the street dog population in Sri Lanka. It is estimated that there are up to 3 million street dogs in Sri Lanka. WECare Worldwide are in the process of carrying out a 5 year plan in which we will look to help eliminate rabies in the country and also reduce the numbers of unwanted street dogs. We will also treat any sick or injured street dogs.

Story

Rabies is 100% PREVENTABLE with thorough vaccination programmes! It is an awful disease which affects both the animal and human populations here in Sri Lanka and it is fatal in 100% of cases if left untreated.

It is crucial that we get on top of rabies on the island, as many lives are being lost and it is totally unnecessary. With one vaccination, costing just under £1, we can protect an animal from rabies for 1-3 years and work towards complete eradication in Sri Lanka. This is very do-able for many reasons, one being that we are an island so have clear borders! We just need a little help with funding and we can start the programme tomorrow! Please help if you can!
