In the heart of Southwestern Kenya lies Lambwe Valley, where the Ruma National Park is also located. Here, wild animals such as leopards, buffaloes, hyenas, honey badgers, and giraffes coexist with livestock that provide a lifeline for many households in the region.

Raising livestock like cattle, pigs, sheep, and goats is an integral part of the Lambwe community.
