During the reporting period, the piglets born in June 2026 to a sow belonging to the Tukolehamu group were distributed to 15 farmers on 31st July 2026. The piglets have continued to grow well and remain generally healthy. The farmers are taking good care of the piglets and monitoring their growth.
However, one of the distributed piglets died after developing an unidentified illness. The exact cause of death could not be established.
The sow belonging to the same group that gave birth in June 2026 has become pregnant again. The group expects the sow to give birth to another litter of piglets early next year. This is a positive development for the project, as the new piglets will increase the number of pigs within the group and create an opportunity to distribute piglets to additional beneficiaries.
Overall, the progress of the piggery project is encouraging. The continued reproduction of the pigs will help the project expand its reach, increase the number of participating farmers, and strengthen the project's impact on household livelihoods.
