About this project

PHASE 1: Construction of pig housing
Two pig housing blocks will be constructed.
PHASE 2: Developing a training manual for the project
The project steering team will develop training manuals that will be used as a guide for the training project participants.
PHASE 3: Training of project beneficiaries
Thirty beneficiaries will be recruited to receive intensive training on best practices in piggery farming, book keeping and entrepreneurial skills.
PHASE 4: Allocation of seed piglets and initial facilitation
Each household will be given two piglets. Once the piglets are mature and have given birth, the beneficiaries will then give back two piglets to the project& these will be given to new members.
PHASE 5: Piggery management
Over the first three months of the project, the beneficiaries will be given medication and partial dietary support.
PROJECT SUSTAINABILITY
To make the project self sustaining, it has been agreed that the project should have a commercial side, where it will be producing and selling piglets to established farmers and other farmers who want to grow their businesses. The project shall venture into pork production once the first batch of the piglets at the demonstration farm has grown. The project will also offer training to prospective and practicing piggery farmers at an affordable fee. The proceeds thereof will then be ploughed back into the project activities.
