Despite having one of the most advanced economies on the African continent, Kenya is still a developing country. Compared with its neighbors, Kenya demonstrates relative political and social stability, though sometimes aggravated by ethnic conflict. Even though the agricultural sector employs 75% of the workforce, the country remains largely food insecure. Just 40 miles southeast of Lake Victoria lies the district of Kuria West on the Kenya-Tanzania border. A single paved highway lined with concrete shops, tiny restaurants, and service providers cuts through the border town. The rest of the district is a web of dirt roads amid rolling hills dotted with farms and homesteads.

Location: Isebania / Sirare, Migori, Kenya

Education: Degree in Business Management or other related fields

Experience: Milk & milk products experience shall be an added advantage
