Maeu, a 32 year old woman Ma woman, and now mother of three, considers her sheep her bank. Whenever there is need for money - be it school fees or a medical bill - she is able to sell cattle, and facilitate that need.

This year, 3 goats and one of her sheep have succumbed to the drought, leaving her with 5, none of which are good for sale.

She and her brother have made a decision to have their sheep graze together to minimize the use of resources, and avoid hiring shepherd boys to look after the latter.
