Fundraising

I was talking to my host father the other day, and he believes that the project could benefit the people of his village, too.  He’s in the technology area of one of the sub-county governments and does a lot of field work with the people in his village, including rainwater harvesting projects and other projects for development.  I have added a PayPal donation button to the blog.  I’m hoping to raise some funds to expand the project to this area.  It’s about 30 USD for each pig since we want to give them 5 month old pigs so as to reduce the chance of them dying before they can produce.  The costs for the training materials have already been covered, so as of now, it's just the cost of the pigs and if there are some funds left, to cover transport for implementing and also evaluating in Kasaali, Kyotera and anywhere else that it is implemented.  I would need only 12 pigs because the project grows and expands on its own as the pigs reproduce, so that’s $360.  I'm not asking for any more than $400, though, since I have no other plans as of yet to expand it further than this.  So, if anyone wants to donate, it would be very much appreciated.  I’ll have to work to adapt the project to suit the existing structures of that community’s groups because they do not have the same kind of Village Savings and Loan Associations as the communities that I currently work with have, but as long as there is some kind of community group structure and a basis for cooperation, then I think it can work.  I would do a household survey in the beginning there as well to serve as a baseline survey for later evaluation.  Anyways, hopefully I can raise the funds!  Thanks for reading!
