SIERRA LEONE ($4,875)

Raising Local Animals

Project Director - Mohamed Koroma

 

Forty-five members of the existing group and thirty new members will participate in this one-year project. RADA is currently implementing a livestock development project, which is an outgrowth of an earlier, crop-based project. Each of the thirty new members will receive a female sheep, pig and goat. Thirty of the old members will receive a goat and fifteen will receive a pig. The rest of the seed money will be used for food and medicine. Each member is expected to earn an average monthly income of $15 from the sale of offspring. Annually goats will deliver twice with two young per delivery and pigs will deliver three times with at least four piglets.
