As we happen to round up our previous project Hausa community health articles Trans-Athon, I'm part of the facilitators and editors during the project. we realise that there is need for more vaccine articles in hausa Wikipedia, when one of the participants asked about Tetanus vaccine and we searched for it and it does not exist in Hausa Wikipedia only in English from that we engage in searching several vaccines and find out that diseases vaccines are not readily available in hausa Wikipedia for the public consumption and education which is the soul purpose of Wikipedia then collectively we decide to do this and bring change about the problem. As majority of world diseases that have a vaccine are not being available or translate to Hausa Wikipedia space.This is because of the nexus between our previous project and the proposed one which will focus mainly on translation articles health related that are vaccines. We are trying to chance the stereotype in Africa and Nigeria and down to our community Hausa at large "that certain disease does not have a vaccine". We will like to use Wikipedia articles as a means of campaign and changing that narratives. Below are some of the articles we sort out to add and translate during the project and to be used for the campaign. First we are trying to make vaccine articles available in the Hausa Wikipedia space. Secondly we want to campaign and change the stereotype that some certain diseases don't have a vaccine. We will like to use Wikipedia as a tool to educate our community.
Below are some of the articles to be translated in this project.

The idea and the discuss of the project come to be at the days of the workshop of the previous health transathon project. When one of the participants asked a question about Vaccine.
This is how we collectively make a research and further communicate about the issues and later in conclusion comes with the idea of these project. As we also read a Diff that talks about the need for vaccines articles in several local Wikipedia spaces.
We discussed with the leaders of the community and several other Administrators on the issue and we have their support as it's good to have these articles presented as it will help in readership and viewership of Hausa Wikipedia and Wikimedia movement in general.
