Community Animal Health Workers expand their knowledge
Last month, over 30 new Community Animal Health Workers (CAHWs) in western Kenya received the second phase of their training, aimed at expanding their knowledge of animal diseases and how to prevent and control them. The practising CAHWs also used this opportunity to share their first-hand experiences and the challenges they have come across in their work so far.
Over the five day course, the District Veterinary Officer in Vihiga, western Kenya, Dr Masinde, took the trainees through a number of sessions including notifiable diseases in Kenya, veterinary ethics and practical animal handling. The trainees also took part in a field day, where they received practical training on a farm.
We're training and equipping a network of CAHWs to offer a simple veterinary service to surrounding villages. People are boosting their incomes by training as a CAHW or using the CAHW's expertise to improve the health and production of their livestock. The third and final phase of the CAHWs training will take place later this year.
