Our Story

We help animals in need, including stray and sick animals. We want the public to learn about animal welfare in general. We care for animals who are terminally sick or who have been abandoned on the streets. We offer rabies vaccination programmes for dogs and cats, as well as programmes to limit the population of stray dogs and cats. We also use positive action to prevent cruelty and slaughter of cows, as well as promote literacy and general education regarding illegal and brutal killing of cows among the general people. We advocate for cow-centered organic agriculture, as well as restoring cows' love, dignity, and respect. We initiate adoption programmes and urge individuals to adopt stray animals in order to develop a spirit of peaceful coexistence between humans and stray animals.

Zero by 30 : The Challenge

Rabies is completely avoidable, but it is 99.9% lethal. Rabies is one of the world's oldest diseases, but it still poses a daily threat to millions of people worldwide. A dog bite in the United States and many European countries seldom results in death. However, in many places, even a little dog bite or scratch can result in a rabies that is nearly always fatal once symptoms appear.

Rabies is a fatal neurological disease that can be transmitted by multiple hosts, including dogs, and has a large detrimental impact on public health budgets, local communities, and livestock economies in underdeveloped countries.

Every year, tens of thousands of people die from rabies, with 99 percent of them contracting the disease from an infected dog. A bite from an infected dog causes more than 95 percent of the 59,000 human rabies deaths each year in Africa and Asia. In addition, children under the age of 15 account for over half of all dog bites and rabies deaths.

Every year, 20,847 people in India succumb to rabies. Only 15% of dogs are vaccinated against the 70% needed to develop herd immunity. India faces an economic loss of $23 million a year due to rabies.

These deaths can be avoided in India by vaccinating dogs and educating people about rabies prevention.

How to Eliminate Rabies : The Solution

The One Health approach recognises that human and animal health are intertwined, and that zoonotic diseases such as rabies, which are transmitted from animals to humans, require collaborative cross-sector efforts.

Because science reveals that vaccination of dogs in endemic areas is the most successful long-term rabies management technique, we operate vaccination and education programmes to protect both human and canine populations. India can effectively stop dog-transmitted rabies in people if at least 70% of dogs are vaccinated. Safe and effective vaccines are available, and this strategy is not only the most cost-effective but also the only option to eliminate the disease at its source.

As it is crucial to end rabies and preserve lives, we seek to raise public knowledge about rabies, including how to prevent dog bites, vaccination dogs to prevent the disease, and proper treatment and care if bitten by a dog.
