Piglet Distribution Program
Who knew that one piglet could help a poor family improve their quality of life? Inspired by the experience of Mang Job Elizes who initiated a pig dispersal project, Wimler started a Piglet Distribution Program. It only takes one piglet donation (about Euro 30) to start a chain of progress driven by the communities themselves.
“People can change their own lives, provided they have the right kind of institutional support. They’re not asking for charity—charity is no solution to poverty. The solution to poverty is the creation of opportunities like everybody else has, not the poor people, so bring them to the poor people, so they can change their lives.”
