Pigs for Poverty 54 families have joined the Pigs for Poverty project so far this year. Most these families
are single mom households, trying to support their children and provide them with a good education. 71 families will join them in the project as the year continues. The aim this year is to bring a sustainable solution to 125 struggling families to run their own small pig breeding businesses. Each family will receive 2 breeding pigs and valuable training on how to raise healthy pigs by learning things such as the best foods to feed them and keeping a vaccination schedule. The biggest challenge so far is that pigs are in short supply due to swine flu in some regions, so pigs are having to be found from multiple small group locations. Our thanks to GPA Global for underwriting this project for yet another year, and also to all the people who sponsored a pig at our 2019 Annual Charity Auction in Shenzhen. Together, we will bring financial independence and hope for a better future to 125 families.
