And another one!
It was decided because of the delay in the project the purchase of adult pigs would be more sensible than piglets thereby speeding up the production of piglets. To start each village with have two sows and one boar.
We have supplied the villages with 12 months of pig feed. Those who are looking after the pig project have been trained and we now have Yohana Ngoso a vet to oversee the project until it is felt that those in charge are comfortable with their role.
SEEDS will continue to fund the schools and pig project until 2020. It is then hoped that the villages will have accumulated sufficient funds and together with continued sale of piglets will become self-supporting and independent.
