Abstract
CASE STUDY: Rina BK Rina is 35 and she lives with her husband in Singapore Danda. Her two children have grown up and left home. Her husband works as a labourer in the local villages but his daily wage is not very good. The co-operative nominated Rina as one of the first 11 members to get a cow which has now calved and gives 12 litres of milk per day. She keeps one litre for her own use, and travels 10 Km by bike to sell the other 11 litres. This keeps her household financially viable. She said of the project’s support: “Practical Action trained me in livestock management, and paid for half of my cow-shed.”
