As a boy growing up in Naromoru, John Wachuma’s dream was to become a veterinarian after witnessing several dairy cows belonging to his neighbour succumb to diseases. He felt the vet had not given the livestock much attention and he would do better.

He also wanted to be a livestock farmer in the future and had to be prepared to prevent such a loss.
