The Turkana County Government, in collaboration with Welthungerhilfe Kenya (WHH), has conducted a livestock vaccination campaign in Nachuro and Nasinyono, located in Lokichoggio and Turkana West sub-counties, respectively, in a bid to safeguard the health and livelihoods of pastoralist communities.
The nine-day initiative, funded by the German Federal Foreign Office (AA/GFFO), aims to mitigate the adverse effects of water scarcity and hunger through WASH interventions and emergency assistance to vulnerable communities.
The exercise benefitted 567 households and covered over 70,000 livestock.
During the campaign, livestock were vaccinated against key diseases, including Peste des Petits Ruminants (PPR) and Lumpy Skin Disease (LSD).
