We are pleased to announce that we have approved funding for a second pig-rearing project run by TVMC (The Voice of Marginalised Community), an NGO based in Shinyanga. It follows a successful earlier initiative in December. The project targets single mothers, a group facing widespread poverty in the region, which restricts both economic development and children’s access to education.

Our grant will

• Provide single mothers with a sustainable source of income to cover household needs and educational expenses.

• Deliver training in pig keeping and husbandry, including veterinary supervision, disease prevention, and provision of initial feed.
• Encourage knowledge-sharing by passing on pigs and skills to other families.
• Promote positive parenting and child safeguarding awareness through dedicated training sessions for mothers and young family members.

Thank you to everyone who donated to make this – and so many other projects – possible
