Uganda
We have been working in Uganda since 2015, across several project regions, to protect communities from this deadly threat.
Initially, we worked amongst the communities of Murchison Falls National Park, where over 3 years we vaccinated over 13,000 dogs.
In 2019, we identified a need to protect the communities surrounding Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, as well as the park's resident endangered Gorilla population after reports of human and canine rabies deaths in the area.
The region presented our teams with a unique challenge with multiple remote areas and we adapted our methods utilising radio to spread awareness amongst the most isolated communities.
In 2022, we returned to the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park corridor, reaching over 2,700 dogs to ensure continued protection for the remote communities surrounding the park.
We also worked alongside Andorra-based NGO, Daktari, running sterilisation clinics concurrently to the vaccination drive to contribute to humane dog population control.
