Help rural poultry vaccinators reach more families with lifesaving chicken vaccines faster, safer, and with zero emissions! With your support, we're providing bicycles to hard-working community vaccinators across Malawi so they can better protect village flocks from deadly Newcastle disease.
In rural Malawi, community-based poultry vaccinators play a vital role in preventing Newcastle disease, a virus that can wipe out entire chicken flocks in days. These vaccinators are trained and ready, but they often walk long distances in the sun, wind, or rain to reach scattered households. This slows down vaccination efforts, limits their income potential, and threatens the cold chain needed to keep vaccines effective.
A pushbike transforms a vaccinator's ability to do their job. With access to a bicycle, vaccinators can reach more households in less time, allowing them to vaccinate more chickens per campaign. This means increased income for the vaccinators, as their reach and efficiency grow. It also shortens travel time, helping maintain a safer cold chain and ensuring that vaccines remain viable and effective. And best of all, it's a sustainable solution powered entirely by pedal, with zero emissions.
Equipping our vaccinators with bicycles helps keep rural poultry healthy, which directly improves food security, nutrition, and incomes for entire communities. More vaccinated chickens mean fewer flock losses, more eggs and meat, and more money in the pockets of smallholder farmers - many of them women.
