Women’s camel-milk cooperative resilient to drought in Kenya

Camel milk is popular throughout much of Kenya and Somalia. A women’s community initiative in Isiolo in northern Kenya has set up a cooperative to collect, process and market this product. While the venture faces considerable challenges, including a prolonged drought in the region, the Anolei Women’s Camel Dairy Cooperative is determined to further develop its intricate network of activities.

June Po and colleagues report on the operations and innovations of this camel dairy cooperative in the article “Women’s cooperative in the camel milk business shows resilience during drought” published on 30 June 2023 in Rural 21 International Journal for Rural Development.
