The project aims to support single and widowed women with their children in Vietnam that have little (or no ) education - many women are analphabets and are in desperate financial conditions which does not allow them to provide basic education for their children. Courage is providing support to women by donating 3 pigs per woman, a small barn and starter feed as a basic financial support in order to make them self supporting. The women are also trained on the basic pig management principles.
Since 2011 thirteen women have been supported by Courage and the project has been considered a huge success – one woman has recently sold 60 pigs!
