Mission Rabies Goa · 12 September 2015

At Worldwide Veterinary Service (WVS) we champion animal welfare around the world and create sustainable change. We send vets where they are needed most, provide expert veterinary training in hard-to-reach places, and ship urgent aid supplies worldwide, every day of the year.

Story

Mission Rabies ( http://www.missionrabies.com/ ) started in India - the world's hotspot for rabies, where a third of all human cases occur.

                      ****That's the death of a child every hour****

In September 2013, Mission Rabies launched with a massive campaign, powered by vets and volunteers from 14 countries, to achieve over 60,000 dog vaccinations in just 28 days across 12 locations in India.

They trained and equipped some of the best dog catchers in the world to make sure they reached the crucial 70% of the dog population to stop rabies spreading to dogs and people.

                         ****Why the education campaign ? ****

In India, around 40-50% of all rabies victims are under 15, many simply do not understand the risks or a dog bite or how to play safely with animals - leaving them at risk.

This is why Mission Rabies works with schools and local teachers to show even young children how they can protect themselves.
