cattle from Heifer International that are being used in milk production.
He said Heifer international has been distributing livestock to women groups and
families engaged in farming in Kitwe’s Kafinsa area as a way of empowering them
economically.
He noted that the group, which is doing very fine, requires proper equipment and
financial help if the project is to grow.
