In the semi-arid region of Illasit, where rainfall is limited and unpredictable, the practice of crop farming has become exceedingly difficult. This challenge has resulted in high unemployment rates and a lack of stable income sources for the local residents. To address this pressing issue, Edward Maina, a dedicated Volunteer working in the area, facilitated a cattle fattening project from its conceptualization to its execution over the course of his year-long service. The project aims to empower the community by offering an alternative livelihood, thereby enhancing their economic prospects and fostering positive transformation within the region.
