Our Mission
At Wild DVM, our mission is to manage wildlife damage while protecting all species and human welfare. In the Maasai Mara region of Kenya, we contribute to the eradication of Rabies by vaccinating village guard dogs against this disease and therefore stopping the spread to humans in underserved, remote communities. Rabies is a devastating disease that not only endangers animals but also leads to the tragic loss of human lives, particularly among children.
Our organization is deeply committed to helping eradicate this public health threat. Through the generous support of industry partners and public donations, we can bring essential resources directly to these vulnerable communities. Our efforts encompass a comprehensive approach, including community education, campaign promotion, detailed documentation, careful handling of animals, and hands-on vaccination.
Our Process
During our vaccination campaigns, dogs are selected, vaccinated, and paint-marked to indicate completion. Depending on donations, we also provide dewormer to the dogs and other village animals, such as cats. Caretakers receive a Rabies Certificate, which is often proudly displayed as recognition of the vital service provided.
The success of this initiative is made possible through the dedication of volunteers, including local veterinarians and veterinary students. These volunteers play a crucial role, not only in the administration of vaccines but also in translating the Maasai dialect and interpreting cultural standards to ensure the effective sharing of information. This collaborative effort enriches everyone involved, fostering a deeper understanding of veterinary medical processes while protecting the well-being of both animals and humans.
