Help fight poverty in Haiti

Why this Project is Important

Potential Long Term Impact

With the extra income provided by the sale of fattened pigs at market, children will have steady meals, improved health, go to school and have hope for the future. More importantly, 55 families will become self-sufficient.

Project Message

“Before we got the pigs from Lambi we were very poor. Now that we are raising pigs, we have enough money to feed our families and even send our children to school. Our children have a hopeful future.”
- Marie, Member of group that raised pigs with Lambi’s help

Latest Update from the Field

Lambi Fund Pig Breeding Project

By Stephanie Ross - Grantwriter, February 08, 2010 10:47 PM

The Lambi Fund Pig Breeding Project is doing well and was not damaged by the earthquake. The organization members breed the pigs, and distribute some of the piglets in the community to sell to provide income for their organization. The group grows the feed locally and has a veterinary pharmacy so they do not have to travel into town if the pigs become sick.

“Pigs allow us to live, that is the way we take care of our kids and all of our needs.” Member of the Lambi Fund Pig Breeding Project

The Lambi Fund will need to triple the number of pigs to accommodate the massive influx of earthquake survivors moving to the area from Port-au-Prince.

Given that there is a high likelihood that most of those currently migrating to rural communities will stay permanently, there needs to be a dramatic increase in agricultural capacity to meet the increased demand for food.

Thanks to all of you who have supported the Lambi Fund Pig Breeding Project, and rural Haitian families.

Let us know what you think about our pig breeding project and how it helps Haitian families.
