pigs for the family of little Bunny (betterplace.org)

100% funded

G. Falkenstein (Project Manager)

Hello everybody,
at first I want to say sorry for my English - but it's not my mother-tongue.

In another project we beg for your help to build a new home for our sponsored girl Bunny.
Her father is jobless, so they have no regular income. He sells some vegetables which he plants and harvests near the river. They live in a slum near Manila (Philippines).
They have a big wish: to feed young pigs and sell them 6 months later. That would bring a good income for the family. Filippinos love "Lechon".

We are planing to sponsor - with your help - 2 youngs pigs. After feedings and selling the family could buy again young pigs and feed them and so on....
So that would be the start to a lasting help.

Information about the project:

Not tax deductible
Trustworthiness of the project
We forward 100 % of your donation

The German fiscal authorities have NOT acknowledged that this project is charitable - but it might be acknowledged in its home country.

betterplace.org did not assess this project. Maybe the project is charitable in its home country according to the local fiscal authorities, but we cannot assess that. Since there are thousands of (very often very small) projects from all around the world and since there are a variety of criteria on which an estimation can be based, only one group can make assessments efficiently: the betterplace community, i.e. you. Furthermore, as you know, projects can never checked with 100% certainty of the results- especially in the fundraising sector.

Please inform yourself about the project through our "web of trust": look at the project responsible (why don't you ask a question about your possible donation?), the project description and the news from on-site. You can also take a look at the comments and opinions, previous donors, visitors and internet users have left so far.

We suggest that you support projects, when you know the carrier organisation or the project responsible, or if a trustworthy person recommended the project to you – or if the web of trust convinced you of the project's trustworthiness.

betterplace.org forwards 100 percent of your donation to the project carrier or in cases where there is no carrier organisation to the project responsible. The recipient is obligated to use the money for the purpose that was defined in the description of the project.

\ When you donate you have the option to add a "tip" for betterplace.org to the 100 percent. Through the tips we finance the operation (servers etc.) and development (programming etc.) of our platform. Even though we are charitable, we also have to pay our bills. But of course your tip is completely voluntary. If you donate some money to us - thank you! Your team from betterplace.org.

a second piglet

€50 raised

Pigs don't like to be alone... so it's better to have 2 pigs together. The first piglet is donated, also the material for the stable. so both piglets would have a home.
