DISTRIBUTION MODEL INNOVATION
Katswiri's mission is to distribute livestock and livestock services on loan to rural smallholder farmers in order to promote a better quality of life.
The Katswiri distribution model is based on three part approach, that includes financing through the provision of livestock and livestock services on loan, training of rural farmers in livestock production best practices, and marketing support.
Katswiri’s plan is to provide long term sustainable livestock services to farmers in need and drive evidence-based impact.
