#ThrowbackThursday Video—Misku and Gebremichael’s stories

Don’t miss these

two superb and

VERY short videos

describing how

new ideas in animal husbandry

are transforming Ethiopian incomes,

animal pastures and livestock livelihoods.

Misku’s Story

A 40-year old woman from

central-western Ethiopia

transforms her family’s life

through improved sheep fattening.

The women doing this

are transforming not only their household wealth,

but also their relationships with their (very proud) husbands.

Gebremichael’s Story

A Tigray livestock keeper says improved,

community-led pasture management

has transformed livelihoods in his community,

with more milk and greater incomes

sending children to school for the first time.

‘If you compare the past and the present,

it’s like the distance between the Earth and the sky.’
