#Rabies360Challenge – raising awareness around the globe

#Rabies360Challenge is back for 2021!

This September, in preparation for World Rabies Day (28 September), we will be raising awareness of rabies elimination through this global event, open to everyone who believes, as we do, that it is time to stop people dying of this preventable disease that continues to kill almost 60,000 people each year.

With richer countries free from the constant threat of rabies, many people are not aware just how big a problem this disease remains. Rabies still takes a tremendous toll, mainly in Africa and Asia. It is our mission to bring this to everyone’s attention. So, let’s get everyone talking about it!! YOU CAN HELP RAISE AWARENESS TOO!

HOW? By taking on #Rabies360Challenge ANYWHERE and ANYTIME throughout September. Everyone is invited to join!

WHY? Because by eliminating rabies we can save lives! Read all about it here!

Why not start thinking about a challenge you might like to do.  There are lots of ways to stay informed and get involved:

Spreading the word is easy with out FREE Social Media #Rabies360Challenge Toolkit – available in the Knowledge Hub Download and use the graphics on your social channels!
