He will now be a proud owner of grade cow courtesy of the financial institution who offered to buy him as a token of appreciation of his community work.
Home feeds will be taken care of by the bank for six months. Besides this, the money lender also pledged to partner with a local Sacco with a view to enlisting him so that he can save his milk earnings and therefore create a sustainable path for him.
Muchemi was presented with a donation of household shopping from the ABC bank staff in recognition of his efforts in making a difference in his community.

Doing good does pay, especially when you’re doing it for good reasons expecting nothing in return. Helping your nighbor in any way is a good enough return on investment, whichever way you choose to look at it. This should serve as a lesson and inspiration to many.
