Join GGIF in Protecting India’s Children and Vulnerable Communities

The Good Governance India Foundation (GGIF) is launching a major national initiative addressing one of India’s most urgent public-safety and public-health crises — the growing threat posed by stray dog attacks on children, women, the elderly, sanitation workers, and daily-wage earners.

India now records over 10,000 dog bites every day and the highest number of rabies deaths in the world , a tragedy that disproportionately affects those who lack agency, access, and voice.

We believe every child deserves safe streets , and no parent should fear letting their child play or walk to school. To make this mission a reality, we are assembling a network of social workers, volunteers, field coordinators, and community mobilisers across India.

Who We Are Looking For :

GGIF invites individuals who are :

• Compassionate and committed to protecting human rights
• Skilled in community outreach , fieldwork , or documentation
• Able to collect victim stories , verify incidents, and support affected families
• Willing to work with slum communities, labour settlements, schools, and clinics
• Comfortable with basic digital reporting (WhatsApp, forms, photos, geotagging)
• Motivated to strengthen a national movement for child safety, dignity, and justice

Both professionals (social workers, counsellors, public-health graduates) and citizen volunteers are welcome.

What Volunteers Will Do :

Operational and legal guidance will be provided.

Why Your Role Matters :

Dog-lover organisations are well-funded and organised.

Victims are not.

Children, especially those in poorer communities, suffer in silence.

Your work will ensure that their stories are heard , their rights upheld, and their suffering no longer ignored.

This is not a campaign against animals — it is a movement for children, for safety, for justice .
