"When animals get ill, the community animal health workers call me because they do not have the technical know how of diseases"

"I had about 20 chickens but they all died. Now I have to make sisal ropes to sell for a small income."

"I was so poor after my husband died that I was almost a beggar. My house had no roof, doors or windows. Today I am confident and earn money daily - I am a community animal health worker. I have 12 goats, several chickens and I’ve just bought a donkey to carry water. My children are all at school and I am hoping my eldest boy will become a doctor. I don’t need a husband to support me now."
