Our community-based vaccination program in Ethiopia continues to make a powerful difference in rural communities.
During our 14th Newcastle disease vaccination campaign, an incredible 74,700 chickens were vaccinated, protecting the flocks of 27,724 households across participating districts.
The impact of this work is clear. Local farmers tell us that since the program began, the number of chickens dying has dropped dramatically and in some areas has completely stopped. This means healthier flocks, more eggs and meat available for families, and greater household income stability.
Recently, our Program Impact Coordinator Lauren joined Wondosen, our Ethiopia Program Coordinator, on a visit to Aleta Wendo district in the Sidama region to check in on one of these vaccination campaigns. Spending time out in the field with some of the incredible community vaccinators, they witnessed first-hand how dedicated and skilled these local champions have become.
Every vaccination round brings us closer to a future where families can depend on their chickens for nutrition and income all year round.
