Pigs
Raising and selling pigs is another good income
generating project for older women. Based on a previous
successful project TAFU can distribute 2 piglets to each
older person plus feed for 6 months.
Once grown, pigs can have two litters of at least four
piglets each year. Once the initial 8 piglets produce,
then the eight piglets will then produce 32 piglets twice
a year. A piglet can be sold for $20. If half of the
offspring, then for the initial expense of 2 piglets plus
feed ($50 US) the older person can make $640 in a year.
Sponsor an older person to raise and sell pigs.
