 A.V.C.D. program seeks to help improve diet diversity, food security, and rural incomes across the country. In Western Kenya, the dairy sector is constrained by poor linkages between smallholder dairy farmers and access to evidence-based information. These are their stories. A.V.C.D. came up with the introduction of Brakeria. They also introduced Desmodium. We were taught that one can venture into dairy chain line with just grass alone. From the grass, you can sell it to your neighbors who are fortunate enough to have the grade cows and you can sell the same to the outside neighbors who might be need of them. I'm not a member of OCEPE practicals but through OCEPE I've benefited a lot because when I attended one of the trainings, that is where I came to know about the growing of Brakeria and in fact I was given the seeds for free. I planted it and I've had a lot of benefit from OCEPE. I've also got friends who are really interested. They don't have animals but they have started growing grass. The community is able to get quality for that. We have nursery establishment. They're able to get the seedlings at affordable prices. Within and around this area, there never used to be reliable water and courtesy of the county government, they now have clean and fresh water. Again, courtesy of Kizumo county government, they are in the light, there never used to be electricity. They have good quality roads and they have also benefited greatly in their respective small folder businesses. People are able to buy from them because the place is now more accessible. So from this grass, I managed to get some money and I added what I topped up with a small loan I got from my group OCEPE practical action and I got my first dairy cow called Dota. The grasses have helped me a lot so I've decided to extend. God willing, I know I'm going to make it commercial. It is not just going to be used for my cows but I'll also sell because I think I now have around 5 acres under grass. So I'll sell it and my animals will also get good food or good feeds from the grass.
