THE PROBLEM Approximately 85,000 women and 12,000 men are raped in England every year. In the current climate, with the heightened awareness of sexual violence and the impact on survivors, there has to be effective support for people to build resilience and create a new narrative for their future. Rescue centres are at crisis point, and dogs are being relinquished at an alarming rate. Both survivors and rescue dogs have been let down by humans. THE SOLUTION The aim of the Canine Hope is to provide an innovative and constructive programme for those who have experienced sexual violence that supports behavioural change, personal development and recovery. Rescue dogs are canine co-tutors that lead this journey. Every dog has a story and the power of that story allows the survivors to learn that they too can trust again and they develop the life skills to take action. Website: https://www.oopoeh.nl/
PurinaPurina’s Purpose is to create richer lives for pets and the people who love them. Our purpose builds on our heritage and our belief that when pets and people bond, life becomes richer. It reflects our expertise and relates to the challenges of the world around us. It is a motivation which inspires our people every day and our partners as well. In 2017, we partnered with Ashoka to recognize the power of the pet-human bond to transform society. And we know innovators and social entrepreneurs are some of the first to unleash these dynamic, new, creative solutions to foster positive impacts for individuals and communities.  Since then, through the Purina BetterwithPets Prize, we have been looking to identify these changemakers, to support them and help them to scale their social impact. There are so many ways in which this bond can help to make a difference, join our community to learn more, participate, and bring fresh ideas and collaboration opportunities.
