YOUNG PEOPLE AND AMR-OUR AMR CHAMPIONS:RHODA’S STORY-”We used to buy antibiotics that were meant for humans and feed them to the chickens”

15 year-old Rhoda lives in the Dodoma Region of Tanzania. She attends one of RBA Initiative’s AMR Clubs, a project supported by Stop Superbugs.

Before attending AMR Club, I’d never heard of antimicrobial resistance. In my community, many people have a tendency to share medicine – even with our animals. For example, my family rear chickens at home, and whenever the animals got sick, we used to buy antibiotics that were meant for humans and feed them to the chickens.
