Chicken Vaccination Project
Summary:
Vaccines are crucial for stopping disease outbreaks. In Congo, poverty and hunger are common, and many rely on chickens for food. Unvaccinated chickens can spread deadly diseases to humans. AusCongo Network, with Kyeema Foundation and PiCCA, has vaccinated over 13,300 chickens in 15 communities and plans to continue.
Challenge:
Without vaccinations, chickens spread diseases like diarrhea, cholera, and food poisoning to humans. Chickens are a key protein source, especially where food is scarce. Many people have died from these diseases due to lack of food and medical care.
Solution:
To protect both chickens and people, proper vaccination is essential. With help from Kyeema Foundation and PiCCA, vaccination camps have been set up in 15 Congolese communities, making it safer for people to eat chicken.
