Like many in her country, she is finding the prospects of earning a living and getting by day to day difficult. She approached CFACT last year via one of our local contacts in the area, a young man named Joseph Ndawula, and proposed to him a plan to start a piggery to help herself and her family improve their lot. We took her up on her idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What Musoke specifically sought was obtaining a micro-loan to begin building a pig farm by purchasing a sow. With CFACT\u2019s assistance, she bought the pig and paid to have it mate in order to produce offspring. The results have been encouraging. Here\u2019s the story in her words:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI started with one female pig. Then, I hired a male pig to impregnate it. Afterward, my pig gave me 9 piglets, where I sold off 4 in 3 months to get money for building their house. Then, with what remained, I had a mother pig and 5 piglets to make 6 .<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With CFACT\u2019s donation to me, I bought more pigs, including the good breed male, to make 10 pigs, which I have currently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The remaining money from CFACT I used to store more food to take me for 6 months and medication for pigs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My plan is to expand the project on a large scale and get more high breeds (South African Breeds). This will benefit me and the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I thank CFACT and Joseph (CFACT\u2019s operative), who delivered the donation to me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A heartwarming story indeed!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CFACT has long supported a \u201cfree market\u201d approach to environmental stewardship and humanitarian aid. In 2003, the Committee began its \u201cStewardship in Action\u201d project to showcase that the organization doesn\u2019t just talk the talk \u2013 but also walks the walk in making an impact in people\u2019s lives. This piggery project is but one of many projects CFACT undertakes in the developing world to make a difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can watch a proud Musoke show her piggery project in this short video, created by Joseph Nduwala.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Link to video:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"723\" height=\"407\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/aG-OqZwyzw4?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CFACT PIGGERY FUNDED PROJECT TO EMPOWER YOUTH IN UGANDA<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>The post\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cfact.org\/2023\/11\/23\/uganda-pig-farmer-grateful-for-cfacts-empowerment-efforts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Uganda pig farmer grateful for CFACT\u2019s empowerment efforts<\/a>\u00a0appeared first on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cfact.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CFACT<\/a>.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Elizabeth Musoke lives in the Kitala Village along Entebbe Road in Uganda.
