They face obstacles most of us never will.
Rabies shouldn’t be one of them.

Help here. Change there.

 

Every year in Africa, nearly 25,000 people—most of them children—die from rabies. The domestic dog is primarily responsible for transmitting the disease to the dog population, humans, and wildlife. In Tanzania’s Serengeti region, domestic dogs protect livestock, assist in hunting, and serve as family companions, where they share a close bond with children.

 

The Afya Serengeti project, a rabies control project based in Tanzania, is working to eradicate rabies in the Serengeti. By only our second year of operation, the number of people needing hospital care for bites from rabid dogs dropped by 82%!

 

You can help in our continual efforts to protect health and save lives in the Serengeti and together we can make a change.
