 In western Kenya, the dairy sector is constrained by a number of factors. These include unavailability of quality feed and water, poor animal husbandry, and poor linkages between small-holder dairy farmers and access to evidence-based information. The AVCD program seeks to help improve diet diversity, food security, and rural incomes across the country. I started dairy farming around 2012. I bought just an ordinary one that is a local cow, but I decided to sell it because it was not giving me much milk. And it was also frequently becoming ill, and one time it almost died of PCF, which by that time I was not aware of. I started keeping cows way back in 2003. I realized I could not get anything out of those cows because one, I didn't have any fodder for them to feed on. I realized this was a loss, and a great loss to me. Ossiva Practical Action is a CBO that operates within Moroni sub-county. So we have done a lot of training to our members, and even to the greater membership. So we hold seminars, their capacity built in terms of how they can do better practices, in terms of agriculture, and in terms of the overall organization of their facilities. There's a friend of mine who called me and told me there was ill people coming to come and sensitize us on how to feed our animals and even how to do the grazing. And after attending that seminar, my mind changed. I was changed completely. Before feeding them on bracharia, the best animal gave me not more than six liters per milking. But when I began using bracharia, it increased to seven as time went by, it even gives me eight liters per milking. If we have improved animals, it means we have also improved our milk production. And that is why we sought the help and guidance from Illuri. And the idea of this chilling plant came up. And farmers are very, very happy with this one. And many have registered as members of this plant. They told us about the milk chilling plant that is about to begin working. And I'm willing. God willing I'll also be one of the people who will be taking their milk there. Through the collaboration of us, a practical action, Haifa and the Illuri, my life and my family has totally changed and changed for the good. My home is a living example to the surrounding courtesy of the three teams. Through AVCB and OCP Practicals, I've managed to have good cows. I produce the type of animal that I want.
