Women Empowerment for Sustainable Development

Dear partner,

We just wanted to share with the narrative report of the activities undertaken during this quarter,We organized various activities majorly on three areas :

(a) knowledge improvement by formal as well as informal way to educate the beneficiaries for better care and management of their pigs,

(b) shelter management,

 (c) pig health management by extending veterinary treatment services time to time for better health and production of the pigs and piglets.

Training

The beneficiaries called in two groups for imparting hands on training for 3 days. The training covered technical know-how of making pig shelter, pig farm management practices like cleaning with disinfectant solution, use of lime powder to kill the organisms, care of piglets for growth, care of growing animals, pregnant animals, feeding of concentrate feeds along with local feed stuffs, disease prevention strategies, first-aid treatment, record keeping and pig farm economics. The farmers were also educated by informal way as and when visited in the farmer’s field.

Shelter management

We aimed at changing the attitude and primitive practices of pig rearing by introducing the concept of pig shelter management.

Pig health management

Vaccination against swine fever and deworming against parasitic infestation were done at regular intervals. General treatment of the pigs was done, as and when necessary.

Aspire Rwanda team and beneficiaries will continue to work closely towards the most important cause: reduce extreme family poverty with better. We don’t doubt this is one of the most important activities to improve the beneficiaries’ socio- economic standards.
