The Oloililai Dairy started in the early 2000s but has not been able to achieve much because water is very necessary for clean and good quality milk. The water is used for both livestock and domestic use. Water is also used to clean the utensils for milking and storage of the milk.
Oloililai Women Dairy group is situated in mile Tisa on your way to Namanga, a village near the Kenya Tanzania border. Tgey are a Maasai people who keep cows, sheep and goats. Milk is meant to improve the lives of women as an income generation activity. It is used for food too. Money acure from selling milk is used for other food and school fees for children.
The pipeline plus a water tank and other fittings such as water taps and connectors cost US $4,000. The Oloililai women also make hand craft to try and sell to tourists.
God bless you.
