In what is arguably a plastic world, Peter Osanya sits quietly at his Chevoso village home in Malava Constituency, surrounded by traditional gourds that he makes for sale.
His main customers are the neighbouring Kalenjin community, who, unlike the Luhya, have maintained an affinity for the gourds for several reasons, including the storage of their favourite milk product, mursik.
The gourds keep the flavour of the milk intact besides making it cool without the need for refrigeration.
