Pig Rearing Project for Widows in Cameroon

Our recipients continue to knock our door for vaccinations and treatments. This project has assured us of the vast impact on their lives of our widows. The project has increased their self-esteem, provides security to them and their household; because the pigs behind their houses can be sold in case of any eventuality. Even some of them have developed strong fillings for their pig; the thought of selling the pig for meat is dreadful to them. Taking into consideration this sentiment, animal hygiene has been greatly improved with a spill over effect within the community. It is noticed, in some of the areas, that the project has encouraged more and more people to build pig pens for their pigs; thereby curbing illnesses that would and has killed many of the pigs.

Our optimism and interest drives us to continue selecting widows to benefit from the scheme in spite of our little resources to meet their demand. Our evaluation indicates that it is expensive to construct one pen after the other. In light of this adjustment, we have settled down with the option to construct at least three pens at a time for our next round of beneficiaries. However we have not started any construction because we want to allow the disease period to draw to a close.

It is great to belong to a family, a warmth relationship created by God in recognition of the inability of human self sufficiency. The abundance of one man somewhere is a scare resource in another place and people there are in dire need of. Nkong Hill Top and their widows shall always be indebted to GlobalGiving for mobilizing the widow’s capacity around the world to reach our widows in the most special of ways. We thank you for putting a simile on another’s person face far from you and your generous donations to savage poverty in our milieu.
