Villagers from Kakute, Uganda, gather inside the Kakute Church of Uganda, April 23, 2013, to see live theater skits dramatizing proper water and food sanitation procedures performed by human and animal healthcare experts from Combined Joint Task Force-Horn of Africa Surgeon Cell, 411th Civil Affairs Battalion, Uganda People's Defense Force, and their civilian counterparts. Because of high illiteracy rates in Kakute, the performers shared knowledge with the villagers by acting out information. The goal of the presentations is to help prevent the spread of diseases, often viruses from wildlife found in water and food. The event was part of One Health, a two-week whole-of-government program that recognizes the health of humans, animals and ecosystems, like their nations, are interconnected. Overall, the Ugandan government, UPDF, U.S. Agency for International Development, U.S. State Department, U.S. Embassy in Uganda and CJTF-HOA sponsored One Health to help strengthen Uganda's healthcare capabilities.
