Uganda - from Seguya - Pig Project - Kabbubu Library
From Seguya - Uganda
I have received a written report from the library about the pigs:
- In all, 9 piglets were bought and given to 9 individuals, two of these were high-breed males to help provide better breeds in the future.
- Three of the piglets grew up and gave birth to babies, and with the arrangement
in place, of passing a piglet to another farmer, three new farmers received piglets.
- Two farmers among the first 9 sold their piglets once they became unable to raise them, they returned the money to the librarians who facilitated purchases of two replacements which were passed to two other farmers.
- 2 piglets of the first group died due to insufficient care
- One farmer had her piglet stolen, but she was able to find money and replaced
This suggests that we have 5 female piglets ‘at the library’ that we expect to get babies to pass to 5 new farmers.
Three farmers at my side of the village received piglets, they all did well and three new farmers were brought onboard. In all, we had a start off of 12 piglets, 12 farmers, lost two, and have seen 6 new farmers come onboard.
Initial No. Received 12
Losses from the Initial 2
Pass-on from initial 6
Expectation for the next round 8
Beautiful times and best wishes,
Seguya
