A medical camp designed to reach children and teenagers with rabies awareness, reaching 550 young people through child-friendly activities.
Children and teenagers are disproportionately affected by rabies exposures and deaths, yet most health outreach speaks only to adults. With Zuri Health and the Nairobi County Government, we designed a camp that goes directly to the young.
Working hand in hand with teachers, and using games, songs and child friendly activities instead of lectures, the Kawangware medical camp reached 550 children. Each one left knowing how rabies spreads, why dog vaccination matters, and exactly what to do after a bite or scratch.
It is arguably our most important number to date, because this is the age group that most needs early awareness. The camp model is one we now carry into every new community.
