The [[WikiVet Team]] have always been committed to providing access to veterinary resources in the developing world. The rapid improvement in internet bandwidth linked to more affordable computers and mobile phones means that e-learning is now a realistic option to veterinary students in less privileged parts of the world. With this in mind WikiVet has been looking at developing links with veterinary schools in Africa, Asia and South America.

One area that WikiVet has been looking at is the translation of English content to other languages. Whilst all vets in Kenya speak English there are many Community Animal Health Workers for whom English is not their first language. With this in mind, the WikiVet technical guru [[User:A.allison|Asher Allison]] implemented a patch which enables the whole site to be translated into Swahili at the click of a button. We are also exploring creating audio podcasts of some of the content of WikiVet for farmers who have problems with literacy.
