ABOUT ME

3. In 2016 a severe drought
hit Somalia and
neighbouring countries.
Many nomads moved to
the cities as they couldn’t
sustain their lives.
WHY I GOT INVOLVED?

4. Those who lost their
animals moved to the
cities and became
internally displaced
persons/refugees (IDPs)
as they lack skills for
employment.
PROBLEM #1

5. Those who still have
animals live in poverty
half of the year due to
problems in the local
livestock market.
PROBLEM #2

6. Local traders avoid
buying animals during dry
seasons as they don’t
have the capital &
infrastructure to hold
animals.
THIS IS WHY
Winter Spring Summer Autumn
Buy Sell Buy Sell

7. The local livestock trading is controlled by many
small traders and big exporters.

HOW THE MARKET WORKS

8. We can’t stop droughts
but we can solve the
market problems!

9. Why not enable
nomads to sell their
animals over the
Internet?
LET’S GO ONLINE

10. A platform that enables anyone to
become an online livestock trader
where you can buy, own & sell
animals through an app & website.
THE SOLUTION

11. We employ former nomads
who buy animals from other
nomads, maintain them at
our own farms & sell them
for the digital owners.
HOW IT WORKS

12. We are getting capital from our digital livestock traders.
We have built our own infrastructure and use tech to
expand our reach and make our operations efficient.

WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT?

13. It is a profitable investment
that supports local farmers
and creates jobs.
It is also fun! Where else can
you own a goat OR a camel?
WHY IT WORKS

14. 80% of Africa’s population
owns livestock. There are
20 million full time livestock
farmers in East Africa.
40% of Somalia’s economy
is based on livestock.
HOW IMPORTANT IS IT?

15. We are a team of former nomads and techies.
