Context
After losing nearly all their livestock during the 2020–2023 drought, one family in Kajiado West was left without a source of income or stability.
Through MPIDO’s restocking support, they began again, this time with drought-resilient dairy goats.
Today, their herd is growing steadily. Milk is available daily for household consumption, improving nutrition, while surplus is sold to generate income.
What was once lost has become recovery. What seemed like an end has become a new beginning.
