Azmera G. received 3 ewes from WeForest in 2020 – and after three and a half years, she had 18 sheep! Throughout the hard years, Azmera was selling rams to provide her family with food. In 2023, Azmera sold 12 of her sheep for US$335 and is now left with 3 again, but she's thinking long-term and expanding her business. She bought a cross breed heifer for US$272 and 5 pullets for US$5, and still had money left over for grain, children's clothes, oil, coffee and savings. It's a far cry from the days when she depended on 0.25ha where she could only produce 20% of her annual need.
