Description
Three piglets for a family
The gift of three piglets brings the promise of a better future to vulnerable families. These animals provide more than just a source of nutritious protein—they also offer a pathway to sustainable livelihoods and economic independence. By providing piglets, we equip families with the means to become pig farmers, transforming their lives.
Economic and food opportunity
Pigs provide a rich protein source and allow families to earn an independent income. With their ability to thrive in small spaces, pig farming suits families residing in compact homes or apartments. This gift enables families to start pig farming, allowing them to produce their own food and generate income by selling piglets or pork products.
Breaking the poverty cycle
Our Food Assistance program does more than just provide food. We create economic opportunities in countries that have limited resources. Simple ideas such as gifting pigs stimulate the local economy. Pig recipients raise pigs for themselves and their villages, as well as to support our gift program and food partners.
Help Avert a Humanitarian Crisis
Haiti Needs Urgent Assistance
In recent days, a surge of violence in Haiti has forced at least 360,000 people out of their homes. Food For The Poor’s distribution centers need more resources to serve the 4 million people who are now facing acute food insecurity. Help us restock and ship more containers to respond to the immediate crisis and prepare the recovery efforts to help internally displaced families return home.
