Abstract Background: Children in pastoral communities play a significant role herding livestock, placing them at high risk of exposure to zoonotic pathogens such as the Rift Valley fever (RVF) virus. However, socioeconomic studies on knowledge, attitude and practices RVF often involve adults community trainings that are usually implemented bridge knowledge gaps seldom children. Understanding how gender roles influence is crucial for developing effective prevention strategies. Aim: This study sought investigate vulnerability pastoralist boys girls Isiolo County, Kenya. Specifically, examine livestock-related increase their RVF, establish have about assess livestock affect lives communities.
