Thanks to you, this project is off to a wonderful start. So far, the $757 given by Global Giving donors has been used to buy five pigs. Feed has been purchased and construction of pens is underway. Additionally, management training workshops have begun to teach project leadership techniques to six of the twelve women who will be supervising the entire project.
As donations increase, MADRE will be able to purchase more pigs, finish building pens, and begin to facilitate sustainable agriculture workshops for the other 215 Ixil women eager to participate. The animals are still in need of vaccinations, and farmers still lack adequate tools with which to work the land.
We look forward to a continually beneficial relationship with the Global Giving community. The women involved are extremely excited about the project, and look forward to reaping the results of their hard work in the marketplace in the months and years to come.
Project reports on GlobalGiving are posted directly to globalgiving.org by Project Leaders as they are completed, generally every 3-4 months. To protect the integrity of these documents, GlobalGiving does not alter them; therefore you may find some language or formatting issues.
If you donate to this project or have donated to this project, you can receive an email when this project posts a report. You can also subscribe for reports without donating.
