Mycetoma is a neglected tropical disease, affecting young and poor people. Sudan is the most affected part of the globe. Mycetoma believed to be transmitted through thorny pricks, that surrounded the traditional animal enclosures. For risk reduction, Mycetoma Research Center with a donation from a Sudanese engineering company constructed 72 modern animal enclosures in Wad-ELNimear village. Despite being free of charge, this the last intervention did not yield expected benefit since only two villagers preferred to keep their animal in this new enclosures. 
Method
Focused ethnography was conducted in Wad-ELNimear Village, Sinner State – Sudan to explore villagers’ views about their animal and animal enclosures. 
Result 
It was found that animals form a significant part of economic, social and cultural lives of Wad-ELNimear villagers and most of their activities evolve around those animals. According to the views of the villager’s artificial animal enclosures lack personal touch, sense of ownership, it does not serve the multifunctionality of the traditional enclosures, require more work than the traditional one to keep the animals there, and may facilitate disease transmission. 
Conclusion
Understanding the end user’s socio-cultural context is a crucial prerequisite for any community intervention.
