$850 needed to purchase a pig and materials to build a sty
$285 contributed by Emmanuel towards his project
With an initial investment Emmanuel bought a piglet and built a sty. He also diversified his crops and started planting tomatoes. With future investments his goal is to continue to diversify his farming business by raising cows, sheep and chickens. He will use the manure from the animals as an organic fertilizer to increase his crop production and milk will be added to the family diet. Sales of both the manure and milk can be an additional stream of income from his farm.
Emmanuel is involved with his community constructing feeder roads to help improve the road system in and around his village.
