Every year on September 19th, we observe #InternationalSnakebiteAwarenessDay — a day that reminds us of the urgent need to address the burden of snakebites, break harmful myths, and explore pathways to real, lasting solutions.
This year, we are marking the day with a Public Virtual Talk on Snakebites in Kenya – Burden, Myths, and Pathways to Solutions. We invite everyone who’s able to join this talk, and also to take part in learning, sharing, and spreading awareness.
🎙️ Speaker: John Opiyo, Research Fellow, Herpetology Section, National Museums of Kenya
📅 Date: Friday, 19th September 2025
🕑 Time: 2:00 – 3:30 PM (EAT)

But that’s not all! 🚨
We’ll also be taking awareness to the ground with a community engagement activity in Siakago still in the month of September. This will be a chance to share knowledge, promote safety, and empower communities most affected by snakebites.
👉🏾 Whether online or in person, we invite you to be part of this important movement. Together, we can turn the tide against the silent crisis of snakebites in Kenya and beyond.
