More than 20 000 dogs live on the streets in urban Kathmandu. Over 35 000 street dogs live in the Kathmandu Valley (according to a 2006 survey by the KAT Centre and the Government of Nepal).

Every year, 200 people in Nepal die of rabies (most of whom are children), and 16 000 are treated for dog bites.

The KAT Centre opened on 9 May 2004 to address these issues. In just a few years, KAT has made a very noticeable impact on the dog community of the Kathmandu Valley. With your help, KAT will soon extend its reach to the entire valley.
