Supporting widows through the Cameroon widows pig project is quite interesting. You see and feel the excitement of putting a smile on ones’ face with the little you do. The appreciation and joy of the widows is so remarkable, that it will be unfair if we don’t share it with all the amazing Global giving family.
Visiting the widows on June 12, 2013, according to the instructions of the board of Nkong Hll Top Association for Development; the board Chairman Mr. Nkemka Gorge and Mrs. Nkemasong Vero were very happy to listen to the widow’s testimonies on the success of the project. One widow was quick to remark that “It beat her imagination to see that few months back she thought it was a difficult activity but today she is caring for the pigs without any difficulty and the pigs are growing so well”.
On July 11th 2013, the grant period of CWPP beneficiaries ended with donations of pig’s feed and veterinary care. Subsequently, the Widows are completely responsible for the pig’s medical care and nutrition. Follow up shall occur at the end of September 2013 to ascertain the pig’s weight, determine a market and restock their pens. The widows are maintaining the pigs’ health up to the project standard with no recorded illnesses.
Due to the high demand, new places are requesting assistance from the CWPP project. Furthermore, the current project is unable to satisfy the needs of villagers within the current locations. We wish to touch additional widows but the resources are limited. We will like to appeal for more support to ensure a prosperous future for the Widows in Tole, Owe and Ikita, Cameroon.
Thank you and Blessings unto you
