For rural women in Uganda Newcastle Disease vaccine is more than just protecting chickens
In the rural villages of central Uganda’s Mukono and Mityana districts and eastern Uganda’s Iganga district, thanks to the introduction of the Newcastle Disease vaccine (I-2 ND) which protects poultry against this deadly disease, women have been taking on more roles in their households and communities. Through the income they get from selling their chickens at market, small, informal women-led business enterprises are popping up around the region.
By selling their increased flocks of chicken at local village markets or to buyers who come for them at their homes, they have created a surplus in their income, which provides the business capital to start small informal businesses. These businesses are helping women diversify their livelihoods, contributing to their households’ income in times of distress.
Among these women, there are several who are excelling in poultry husbandry and their healthy, growing flocks are admired in their communities. Since 2014 when the I-2 ND vaccine was introduced in Uganda, they have been keenly vaccinating their chickens; and their flocks have flourished and multiplied in numbers. As a result, they are being sought by other groups of women in their villages, to train them on proper chicken rearing and vaccinate for them.
When Janet Mailuba from Buwolomena Village in Nabaale Sub County of Central Uganda began vaccinating her five chickens against Newcastle disease in 2013, her only aim was their survival. This 41-year-old mother of ten never imagined standing confidently in front of small groups of women in her village to train them on basic chicken rearing techniques and explain the importance of vaccination.
By following the recommended ND vaccination cycle, every three months, and adopting improved chicken rearing, Mailuba now has 30 chickens and two goats and she is one of Brentec Vaccines Limited’s model farmers in her village. During the holidays she sells off mature chickens when the demand and prices are high and earns up to UGX 25,000 (US $6.97) per chicken.
Brentec, through a partnership with the non-profit organisation Global Alliance for Livestock Veterinary Medicines (GALVmed), manufactures and distributes the I-2 ND vaccine locally known as Kukustar, to poultry farmers like Mailuba in rural Ugandan villages. Through GALVmed’s partnership over 25 million I-2 ND vaccine doses have been delivered to poultry farmers.
According to Dr Mamta Dhawan, GALVmed’s gender focal point, it’s important that poultry vaccinations are inclusive of male and female poultry keepers. “When we talk of farmers, the general mindset is that they are men, but women are also farmers and shouldn’t be left out,” said Dr Dhawan. The goal of GALVmed’s gender policy is to ensure that GALVmed-supported projects take into account gender perspectives to maximise impact on the livelihoods of smallholder farmers in developing countries.
With the vaccine protecting her chickens against the disease, Mailuba has a new source of income. Every time she sells one chicken, she earns between UGX 20,000 and UGX 25,000 (US $5.57-6.96). From the income, Mailuba is sharing the household expense burdens with her brick-layer husband by buying soap, food, medicine, uniforms and books for their children.
“My husband now respects me and we live in harmony,” says Mailuba. She has also partnered with four women to form a welfare group for diversifying their livelihoods means, and every week they each save UGX 6,000 (US $1.67) in the group’s kitty. The group has also obtained goats after bartering some of their chicken at the local market – each goat is bartered for seven mature chickens.
Mailuba now has two goats and is planning to buy a Friesian cow, so that she can improve her household nutrition and income through milk consumption and sales respectively. As a result of her being a Brentec model poultry farmer, three women groups in her village have been inviting Mailuba to train them on chicken rearing and vaccination.
Susan Nandiyi from Nambale Village in Iganga district is also a model poultry farmer whose increased income from poultry has provided the opportunity for her take up more household responsibilities. The mother of ten in her late thirties has 30 chickens, but before she began vaccinating two years ago, she had at most five birds at a time. Almost all of Nandiyi’s chickens would succumb to Newcastle Disease and the burden of providing to her family was left to her husband. Today, through improved income from selling chickens, she pays for school fees for their children and buys medicine and food for the family when her husband is unable to or when their crops fail.
“When I see a need in the household I sell one chicken to buy what’s required,” said Nandiyi. Her contribution has added to the wellbeing of the family. She is also happy she can regularly slaughter a chicken for her family at least once a month, without costing her much. This gives her family much needed protein. Like Mailuba, she plans to buy a cow and goats with her savings from selling the chickens.
Nandiyi also encourages women in her village to vaccinate their chickens, having witnessed the benefits first hand. She and other women in her village have also secured consistent chicken buyers so they don’t struggle to market them.
For 36-year-old Harriet Mutesi also from Nambale, the income she gets selling chickens now ensures that her husband includes her in household decision making. “It makes me proud to sit down with him and plan,” said Mutesi. The mother of five buys pens and uniforms for her children and her husband buys books and pays school fees. “I used to feel bad when I couldn’t contribute anything to my children’s education, but now I’m happy,” said Mutesi. Between her and her husband they also decide every school term whose turn it is to pay the fees.
Having been a tailor all her life, 71-year-old Magdalene Muyango from Ngulolo village in Mityana district, decided to rear chickens two years ago to supplement her income. The mother of eight almost quit when she once lost 15 out of her 25 birds in a single week. Through a radio advertisement she learned of the Kukustar vaccine and had her chickens vaccinated first a year agoand every three months since then, by local para-veterinary professionals.
Since vaccinating, Muyango has not lost any chicken to Newcastle disease; currently she has 20 growing chickens. These provide her with eggs for home consumption and selling. The secondary income she gets from the chickens she saves in a local saving group called Mayirye Development Group. The 40 member welfare group consists of both men and women.
“Every week I save UGX 5,000 (US $1.39) and the chickens have really helped me to be getting that money,” said Muyango. The extra income she gets from the chickens has also helped relieve her husband from the burden of providing basic household needs. “I’m happy to see him rested,” said Muyango.
During the implementation of projects, GALVmed ensures its community engagement activities are structured so as to be convenient for women attending according to Dr Dhawan. That means meetings are not scheduled during lunch time or late in the evening when women are busy attending to their households.
Gender discrimination has been found to be a cause of poverty and interventions aimed at poverty reduction need to be gender sensitive, according to GALVmed’s Gender Policy.

Had a delightful time seeing old friends and making plenty of new ones this weekend while being able to explore Art Prize in downtown Grand Rapids. If you live close enough to justify coming...I absolutely recommend it this year. It never ceases to amaze me as to what people are able to create. It's incredible.

What do you get when you add Waka-Waka, 50-plus kids, 60-plus 173rd Airborne Division “Buddies,” and 190 Volunteers , throw-in a beautiful day then multiply all that by ‘a whole lotta fun?’ You guessed it – Vicenza’s first Exceptional Family Member Program Sports Day.
The event marks five months of a lot of hard work and coordination.
“I can go down a whole list of folks in the Garrison and in the community, but there are two people who made this day happen,” said Maj. Gen. David. R. Hogg, commander, USARAF. “Cara Tarr, the EFMP coordinator, and Loraine De Oliveira, the EFMP Sports Day Volunteer Coordinator, brought this day together after five months of planning -- so thumbs-up to them.
Tarr became emotional when asked what the day meant to her.
“It has been so much fun working with all the people and all with such big hearts,” Tarr said. “Most importantly, this day is for the kids and for them to know this day is for them and and see how much fun they’re having means everything.”
De Oliveira echoed Tarr’s sentiment.
“To see the community come together in this way has been amazing,” De Oliveira said. “We have volunteers from US Army Africa, Army Community Service, Vicenza Garrison, Italian Volunteers, and our community have come out to participate in this event – it has been a privilege to be a part of this,” she said.
Francesca Gheller, EFMP Volunteer who works with Vicenza Housing, said the day has dual meanings for her.
“My son, Paul Dorrity, was born today,” Gheller said. “He was a pilot with 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment and was killed in a mission in Afghanistan fighting the war against terrorism – so I come today in his memory because he loved track and field and to honor all these children participating today.”
Hogg said looking around seeing these 173rd Soldiers volunteering is priceless.
“These Soldiers just got back from Afghanistan and are out here as ‘Airborne Buddies,’” Hogg said. “When you look at the work from the volunteers and the community to put this program together and have done an exceptional job – and it’s not just our American volunteers, it’s our Italian host nation community volunteering to be a part of this,” he said.
Activities continue through 3 p.m. today at the main track beside the Vicenza Army Medical Clinic.

The first signing event was held at DD department in Changwon City. Most of all, we were worried about the weather in Changwon since there was strong wind or torrential rain in most areas. Luckily it was sunny and hot in Changwon city so we called Minho as driving the Sun. ^^ The signing event was held at a small plaza of the store so many people could see Minho closely as well as people who had a chance to get his autograph. They said unanimously " Minho is perfect.", " He looks like a doll not a person" and " "He is superior in stature". During the event, the sponsor played the OST of BOF, and the atmosphere was really good. Today Minho wore a white t-shirt, a checked out-shirt, jeans and orange colored sneakers. Today his fashion point was wrong buttoned shirt...It was not caused by mistake but one of his fashion styles.^^ Many fans who saw his photos left their messages that Minho seemed to do body-building because his body looked very good today. Also some people said maybe he got haircut and had his hair dyed, he looked simple and clear today. One guy (we guessed he is one of staff from the DD store) left an afternote on the DC gallery. He said that he got the chance to talk with MH, and Minho gave him a cigarette and smoked together.(brand PLAMENT LIGHT) Wow~ many fans left the messages for the guy about envying him and hoping MH could quit smoking. As he had to leave for the next fan signing event, he didn't linger there and left quickly. credits: soompi.com, as labelled, loveminho.com
La pause longue nous permet de multiplier les conceptions graphiques...
C'est la force de l'imaginaire ... Une chorégraphie graphique et lumineuse...
(Le mot « photographie » a été imaginé par John Herschel et provient de deux racines d'origine grecque :
le préfixe « photo- » (φωτoς, photos : lumière, clarté) — qui procède de la lumière, qui utilise la lumière ;
le suffixe « -graphie » (γραφειν, graphein : peindre, dessiner, écrire) — qui écrit, qui aboutit à une image.
Littéralement : « peindre avec la lumière ». )(Wikipédia)
Le light painting que je pratique est bien de la photographie.

gahhh im having a stressful week. im almost halfway through though! thank goodness.
Boughton House, Northamptonshire, is a country house about 3 miles north-east of Kettering near Geddington. Part of an estate of 11,000 acres, it is one of the seats of the Duke of Buccleuch and famed for its beauty, its collections, and the fact it has survived virtually unchanged since the 17th century. While possessing a medieval core, its exterior evokes an opulent French chateau, causing it to be called 'The English Versailles'.
In keeping with the French style of its exterior, Boughton House is set amidst a highly impressive formal, yet arcadian garden of strict geometry, designed on the golden ratio. Vast swathes of turf, planes of reflecting water, strong lines of trees and linear earth forms create an intellectually meditative landscape indicative of the Age of Enlightenment and the idea that a garden could be a journey of the mind, yet acknowledge the natural world. The 2nd Duke, who had been nicknamed John The Planter, swept away the previous ornamental parterres, multiplied the avenues of elms and planes, and developed the role of water which structures the garden. Later, the landscaper of the garden at Stowe, Charles Bridgeman, who was under his employ, is believed to have created the sculptural earth forms.
Restoration of the garden was begun by the 9th Duke, and has continued under the 10th Duke. It included returning the River Ise to its eighteenth-century width, which required two miles of green oak boarding, fixed by coach bolts. In 2009 landscape designer Kim Wilkie was commissioned to create a new work to complement an existing pyramidal grassed mount. The result, called Orpheus, is named after the famed musician of Greek mythology who, when his wife Eurydice died, went down into the underworld to try to reclaim her. His music was so beautiful that Hades relented and allowed Eurydice to return to the world of the living. This striking landform seamlessly continues the garden's intellectual dialogue via an immense inverted pyramid and spiral rill, both set within a golden ratio. In 2015 The Grand Etang, or ‘large lake’ in French, a long-vanished lake of almost one-acre with a 75 ft tall water jet was recreated, to once again reflect the main frontage of Boughton. Located immediately to the north-west of the House, it is one of the earliest surviving features from the original gardens and designed landscape. It was created in the early 18th century as a reflecting pool for the house and was also used for ice-skating in the winter.
