          Joyce Positani, age 42, received training from Concern Worldwide to become a Community Animal Health Worker. She is known in the community and vaccinates up to 300 chickens a month. Thanks to the income she receives from this, her life has been greatly improved. She says “I am very happy and thank Concern for choosing me and training me”.
