The Piggery

The goal of Pro: Piggery is to enable the members of Silent Voices to generate enough income to finance the basic running costs of their own organization.

By constructing a piggery just outside Bushenyi Town, and staffing it with members of the organization, we are giving all parties involved the opportunity to help themselves and become environmental role models in the local community. As compensation for the work they put in, each parent gets to take a piglet home with them, which they can raise on their own, thereby making it possible for them to improve their own homestead through the skills they have gotten from working at the piggery.

At the end of a two-year project period, the piggery will have become an integral part of Silent Voices, and a reliable source of income, ensuring the sustainability of the organization.
