With the nearest river crossing 15 kilometers away, Hossein and his seven sons decided a few years ago to offer these nomads a quicker way of getting to the other side by building a cableway using steel hawsers and pulleys.
Hossein`s system can transport up to 1,000 livestock daily. He charges a third of a US dollar for each sheep or goat carried, with people and their possessions transported for free.
“These nomads usually cause damage to our farmland. Using our pulley system both protects our land and reduces their travel time by at least one day. It’s a win-win business,” Hossein said.
