What you need to know:

  • Each member contributes Sh15,000 registration fee.
  • The group’s main aim is to improve member’s breeds, help each other obtain credit to grow their enterprises and make farm visit for new ideas.
  • Group members also contribute monthly Sh5,000 which has enabled them access loans at a small fee.

Sounds of cows mooing reach our ears as we enter Challem Dairy Farm in Ihiga-ini village, some 20km from Nyeri Town.

Hellen Weru, the owner of the farm, welcomes the Seeds of Gold team into the dairy farm she has been running since June 2010.
