Rabies Zero by 2030
Mass Vaccination & Community Protection
Animal health. Human health. Environmental health. They're inseparable. Here's how we're protecting all three.
One Health recognizes that human health, animal health, and environmental health are interconnected. You can't have one without the others. When we rescue and care for stray animals, we're not just helping dogs and cats—we're protecting entire communities and ecosystems.
Healthy animals are the foundation of healthy communities
Preventing disease transmission protects public health
Clean ecosystems benefit all living beings
Five major initiatives protecting animals, people, and environments across Europe.
Mass Vaccination & Community Protection
Rabies kills 59,000 people globally each year, with 99% of cases transmitted from dogs. Eastern Europe still reports cases annually, threatening both human and animal lives.
We're running mass vaccination campaigns across 8 countries, vaccinating stray dogs and educating communities about bite prevention. Our mobile clinics reach remote villages where rabies risk is highest.

Lives Protected
Estimated 200+ lives saved through prevention
Vaccinating stray dogs creates herd immunity that protects children and adults from deadly rabies transmission—a perfect example of animal health safeguarding human health.
Population Control & Disease Prevention
Uncontrolled stray populations lead to overcrowding, increased disease spread, competition for resources, and environmental degradation from waste.
Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return programs that humanely sterilize stray animals, vaccinate them, and return them to managed colonies. This stabilizes populations and reduces disease reservoirs.
Sterilized
8900
Target
15000
Disease Reduction
67% reduction in parvovirus in treated areas
Environmental
Reduced waste contamination in urban waterways
Smaller, healthier animal populations mean less disease transmission, reduced environmental contamination from feces, and safer public spaces for children and families.
Early Warning System for Public Health
75% of emerging infectious diseases in humans come from animals. Without monitoring stray populations, outbreaks can spread undetected, threatening public health systems.
We've established veterinary testing partnerships in 12 cities to monitor rescued animals for leptospirosis, brucellosis, toxoplasmosis, and vector-borne diseases. Data is shared with national health authorities.

Partnerships
12 public health agencies collaborate with us
Animals are sentinel species—monitoring their health gives early warnings about diseases that could jump to humans, protecting entire communities before outbreaks occur.
Environmental Remediation & Ecosystem Restoration
Stray animal waste contaminates urban water sources, spreading E. coli, Giardia, and parasites. This affects drinking water quality, recreational areas, and wildlife ecosystems.
Combined with sterilization programs, we're working with municipalities to clean contaminated sites, establish waste management protocols, and restore green spaces where managed animal populations can coexist safely.

Water Quality
42% improvement in tested waterways
Partnerships
9 municipal governments
Green Spaces
6 parks restored and maintained
Clean environments reduce disease transmission through water and soil, protecting children at play, families in public spaces, and wildlife that depend on healthy ecosystems.
Teaching the Next Generation
Many communities lack understanding of how animal health, human health, and environment are connected. This leads to fear, misinformation, and behaviors that increase disease risk.
Interactive school programs teaching students about responsible pet ownership, bite prevention, hygiene, ecosystem health, and compassion. We've developed curricula adopted by education ministries in 3 countries.

Educated children become ambassadors for One Health principles, reducing disease transmission, improving animal welfare, and protecting environments in their communities for decades to come.
We partner with public health agencies, veterinary universities, environmental organizations, and municipalities. Together, we're building healthier communities across Europe.
