About - Biabu Majid Salum
Biabu hopes to become a dairy farmer. She is 50 years old and lives in Pondeani, in the western part of the island of Pemba, just off the coast of mainland Tanzania. She is married and she and her husband have 5 children. Her husband weaves handicrafts, hats, and baskets, earning roughly US$ 95-125 (150,000-200,000 TZS) per year. Biabu is not currently working.
As part of the Pondeani group, Biabu is looking forward to helping to open the local branch of Pemba Fresh, the island's first dairy farm, where she and the group will care for the cattle and produce fresh milk, eventually expanding to cheese, yogurt, butter, ghee, and other products. Through dairy farming, Biabu has the potential to vastly increase her income and improve her daily life.
