Besides raising and selling pigs, Agoko Christine is also concerned about school dropouts and unemployment of young people in her community. She is therefore engaged in providing her employees and customers with pig breeding techniques.
She explains her activities:
“We have supported other farmers, who are beginning like selling to them pregnant animals. We have also trained them, we make a follow up, not just give them the animal and let them go with them. We follow up and guide them how to raise them, how to feed them.”
With the help of WIDU, she was able to initiate the construction of a pig farm, purchase new livestock, and can now safely guarantee the medical and provision costs for her animals.
"I can actually say that the WIDU Grant kick-started the entire project by providing funding for purchasing 7 pigs and transportation for the animals."
"I intend to play my part in ensuring that the people of Africa can build and sustain themselves by making their dreams a reality and by utilizing our own raw materials as effectively as possible."
