A veterinary operation backed by Self Help Africa is providing vital health services to Kenyan herders who have lost more than a million animals to sickness and drought, since last Autumn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Operating in hard to reach areas of the country\u2019s far north, Paves Vetagro is on the frontline in the battle to protect the livelihoods of millions of semi-nomadic herders, who are facing the worst crisis in a generation following a third successive year of drought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOur livestock are picking up diseases when they come to the few watering holes that remain. There has even been an outbreak of foot and mouth disease in my area. Donkeys, cattle, and even camels are dying.\u201d<\/em><\/p>Nomadic farmer John Eyaku<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
