Anolei Women Camel Milk Cooperative

Anolei Women Camel Milk Cooperative purchases milk from camel herders which is then processed into fresh camel milk and camel milk yoghurt sold to the local markets. The group also produces dried camel meat. 

The cooperative started 15 years ago as a self-help group of five Somali women that sold camel milk to relatives living in the Greater Isiolo Region of northern Kenya. Today, this group has expanded to 64 members, which buys milk from camel herders and sells it up to 70 km away in Nairobi, using a hired 4-wheel-drive vehicle. With the support of the Kenyan Camel Association, SNV Netherlands, VSF Switzerland, FAO and KARI (Kenya Agricultural Research Institute), the women have become more efficient in their marketing, improved the hygiene in handling the camel milk and ventured into new markets.
