Kenya, including Isiolo County, where the company is implementing restocking strategies in response to
the severe loss of livestock due to prolonged drought.
Audrey is currently pursuing a Master of Business Administration degree and holds a Bachelor of
Science in Environmental Sciences. Her current interest is to explore sustainable models for market
system development, inclusive value chain transformation and Usomi Limited’s growth and scaling.
