Pig Pen
$50.00
Your donation to a revolving loan fund enables a family to build a “Happy Pig Banda” where they can raise up to 8 pigs at a time. They will buy piglets, fatten them, and sell the fattened pigs to the butcher. The family will be able to use the income from pig sales to reinvest in their business or improve their home or their children’s education. Total cost of a pig pen with pigs is $1,400.
