Millennium Fellowship Project: Zoonotic Disease Management (Zdm)

The Zoonotic Disease Management project aims to educate rural communities about the risks of zoonotic diseases, which are transmitted from animals to humans, especially through close contact like sleeping with animals in the same household. By organizing workshops, awareness campaigns, and home visits, the project will raise awareness about the importance of hygiene, safe animal care, and the separation of animals from human sleeping areas. The goal is to reduce the incidence of zoonotic diseases in rural areas by promoting better practices, such as regular handwashing and proper animal health care, ultimately improving public health and the well-being of both humans and animals in these communities.
