PawTect is a compassionate initiative by the Rotaract Club of Colombo Fort, focused on improving the lives
of stray dogs through medical intervention and advocacy. With a target to sterilise and vaccinate over 50
stray dogs, this project provided these essential services free of charge. In collaboration with the Dogstar
Foundation, PawTect directly addressed the issue of unchecked stray dog populations that often suffer from
disease, starvation, and neglect. Vaccination prevented the spread of deadly diseases, while sterilisation
curbed future suffering by breaking the reproductive cycle.
