It is run by purely women who are engaged in aggregating, processing and marketing of camel milk within and outside Isiolo county, with the major market in Nairobi.

Currently, the grouo collects and sale between 2000-5000 litres of camel milk per day and from the existing market they are yet to meet demand of current customers. They intend to increase collection through investment in more coolers for higher capacity.
