Say hello to our little friends...

Our new friends

Have you heard about the most recent additions to our Community Centre? Thanks to your support, we've now got pigs! Funds from this project helped us to purchase 6 pigs that recently gave birth to 7 piglets with more on the way. The piglets will live in our newly built piggery at our Community Centre and, once they've matured, be sold to local farmers as part of an income-generating project for our educational and agricultural programmes.

Every day, children in our ECD Programme walk down to our pig pen to count the piglets, talk about what colors they see, and what noises pigs make. Our Grades R-7 learners interact with the pigs and start to develop an appreciation for the environment, while our high school learners focus on the tactical and strategic side of starting a piggery business.

These learning opportunities would not have been possible without you! Thank you for your continued support with this project.
