Pick a Pig
This gift goes towards the Caritas Hope Fund which is used to fund livelihood and life-changing programmes. Pigs help a family in many ways, from being a source of food, to being the basis of a small business to generate extra income, to contributing toward traditional cultural celebrations. Caritas supports livelihood programmes that help families raise native pigs, including the training and equipment to help look after them.

Case Study
We are very fortunate to have for many years partnered with an organisation in Cambodia that focuses on the well-being and livelihoods of indigenous villages and communes situated in the North-Eastern provinces of the country.
In a number of these indigenous communities, raising animals such as chickens and pigs can be a valuable source of income. Working with our Cambodian partner, Development and Partnership in Action (DPA) we are enabling many families and villages secure sustainable livelihoods by assisting them with setting up pig-farming alongside training in relevant business practice and marketing.
Ms. Tolakhe Meage is a member of the Huwula people. Raising native pigs will supplement her income and give her the opportunity to contribute to traditional celebrations in her community.
