On November 1st, the current three women (widows) who lost their pigs were given two new piglets and a bag of 50 kg feed. The resources were distributed to the widows after an the agreement for extra support, in terms of extra observation, to keep stray pigs away from the new piglets’ pens and sole responsibility for any death recorded. Subsequently, the next feed of 75 kg was provided on the 1st of December.
Due to the high death toll in Ikata, the project was relocated to Tole, Cameroon. Tole is a small locality inhabited by many widows of the former Tea plantations workers. Several of the project’s widows lost their husbands in the famous Tole Tea Crises in Cameroon.
On Tuesday, December 6th, fifteen windows were sampled and a voluntarily index questionnaire answered to score them on their vulnerabilities and hardships. The windows are preparing their local material for the piglets’ pen construction.
