Animal Health
The main Objective: Provision of drugs and vaccine to benefit households who have livestock.
Animals are important livelihood in KODI areas. KODI gives special care for this by making the community to understand and acknowledge this, through different ways.
This year there were challenges of getting support for this. We only manage to get small support for assessment, training and vaccination of the cattle.
These activities have been implemented in the following ways:
Assessment of refrigerators.
Training and mobilization of the community (49 participants have been trained)
The vaccination will be conducted at the beginning of the year.
B) Adult Education
Adult education in this context means, any activities provided to the adults that can help to promote their daily lives and make them become resilient.
Most of the adult activities are done voluntarily by the community, sometimes with minimal support.
KODI facilitates these activities to support the community by providing space where they can come together and discuss issues of concern and try to find solutions for them.
As result of the meetings, some discussions have formed meaningful objectives that have been translated to activities such as follows:
-
To improve on participants, facilitation skills in adult literacy education (REFLECT methodologies) 100 adult facilitators have been trained on how to lead discussions and teach adults.
-

E) Funds received in 2018 and Challenges
Challenges
