She left her well-paying job with an international organisation eight years to venture into male-dominated livestock keeping and she is happy that she did.

Josephine Sena, who is in her 50s and from the pastoral Maasai community, says was ridiculed mostly by men when she started buying animals at the livestock market in Ololung’a, Narok North Sub-county. She is now a commercial Sahiwal-breed livestock keeper.
