The Piggery Project is a community-based initiative aimed at improving the livelihoods of smallholder farmers by providing them with piglets for rearing. The project seeks to enhance food security, generate income, and promote sustainable livestock farming practices among smallholder farmers. By distributing piglets to farmers, the project will create a ripple effect of economic empowerment especially among the women, which will promote sustainable livelihoods among farmers for a better living.
Last year, we distributed 4 high-quality piglets to 2 farmers groups in Bujwahya and Mbaraara villages The piglets were handed over to 4 women of these groups who will take care of the piglets and when they produce, their off springs will be given to other members of the groups in a system known as the Pay-It-Forward System.
Now the pigs have grown up and 2 out 4 pigs have conceived, expecting to produce in June or July 2026. The sows have no interest for boars, the teats are enlarging, they have less appetite, their abdomen are enlarging and they are calm. We are hoping that the remaining 2 sows will also conceive since they started heat period last month.
We are optimic that this project is expand in a short period and farmers will benefit from it.
