Alinesi | Dairy Farmer
“Timing is everything,” says Alinesi, a dairy farmer in Malawi and mother of five, who delivers milk twice daily with her bicycle. Alinesi used to carry a 40-liter metal milk jug on her head, walking at least one hour each way. She often missed deliveries and suffered extreme pain. Now, with her extra time between milkings, Alinesi uses her bike to harvest the fields, make feed for the cows and sell dairy products at the market. She also delivers milk to community members who are sick or in need. “I give it to them freely.”
