[Social media post for non-profit Child of Hope]
It took a little while to get things together since UK donors kindly raised the money for us to buy and instal pigs – but now they have arrived and have moved into their new pig house! And so Child of Hope's launch it pig farming begins!
Director Bex Okotel said: “Spare timber from the school building works was used to build the pig house. We then bought some iron sheets and cement, etc and ‘voila’, a pig house!
“Moses purchased eight piglets (four pink ones, three black ones and a brown one), two of which are females. The aim is to teach the children how to look after pigs, meanwhile some will be killed for food and the others used to breed more piglets. They’ve been checked by a vet and injected with various necessary drugs. All is going well with the piggies, they are eating maize bran, greens, etc. and staff member Dennis has been allocated to look after them.
“Moses is hoping to purchase two more piglets of a specific breed but he hasn’t been able to find any of that breed as yet.”
