GURADHERA, ETHIOPIA - FEBRUARY 8, 2014: Dhaki Faranjicha is building her household's resilience to drought and market shock by diversifying her family income through milk sales in addition to pastoralism. She collects milk from small pastoralist households in her community and sells it to a milk collection center in the nearest town -- Negele. The USAID-PRIME supported milk collection center provides a reliable, regular market so can always sell all of her milk. Before, she waited on the side of the road or walked through town hoping to sell the milk which often went bad by the end of the day if she didn't sell it. Through the market linkage she has significantly increased her income. With the additional funds she was able to buy a sheep. She can also feed her children better and buy them clothes. With a higher income she's able to save during the rainy season so she is more resilient during the drought season. Photo by Morgana Wingard
