Actualizing a Rabies-Free SURAT.
Across our city, Indie dogs have shared our society and streets for generations.
Yet, rightful worry over bites and rabies often creates unecessary tension between our dog & human neighbours.
ZeroBy30 Phase 1: The Friendship Project
is a community-first initiative that bridges that gap! And the agenda is pretty straightforward...
We should conflict with all street dogs because their bites may cause rabies.
We protect our societies by vaccinating and caring for our Indie dog neighbours.
The Truth Nobody Tells You
Rabies is 100% preventable.
When the dogs living around our gates are vaccinated and healthy, they form an active shield that keeps every resident, child, and family safe.
"Zero By 30" is a global strategic initiative launched by the World Health Organization (WHO) and its international partners in 2015 to achieve zero human deaths from dog-mediated rabies by the year 2030.
Team Prayas, a registered non-profit charitable trust, based in Surat, is now bringing the ZeroBy30 global initative to its city!
We invite all other non-profit organizations, citizens, residential societies, businesses, and communities to be part of this movement and help achieve our vision of a rabies-free Surat.
A city where people and Indie dogs coexist in harmony,
where children play without anxiety,
neighbours live without disputes and communities are united.
That's our Zeroby30 philosophy.
To bring 100% vaccination,
humane care and behavioural understanding to every neighbourhood Indie dog in Surat,
ensuring zero human rabies deaths and zero conflict.
When 70%+ of a society's community dogs are vaccinated, solid pack immunity is built.
Naturally, the vaccinated dog pack prevents unfamiliar, unvaccinated dogs from moving into their territory.
Sterilization and regular vaccination eliminate mating fights, territorial aggression, and maternal defensiveness between dogs.
Every society gets transparent, documented proof of vaccination.
Through basic safety awareness, children learn how to read canine body language at a young age.
Fear is replaced with safety precautions as well as compassion.
