Hog Husbandry Generates Stability and Opportunity for Refugees
FOR
For refugees who have fled their home countries in the hopes of finding safety and stability , it can be extremely difficult to support a family . This is particularly true for those living in the Dzaleka refugee camp in Malawi , who fled from genocide in countries like the Democratic Republic of Congo , Rwanda , Burundi , and Somalia . Some families have lived in this camp for nearly 20 years , raising generations while lacking food resources and economic stability .
Though many refugees are skilled , they can find themselves at a disadvantage when it comes to producing income and becoming self-reliant . With the Dzaleka refugee camp struggling with food sustainability , Diamond leader Katie Adams — who ’ s on the board for SOL Collaborative and has been involved in Malawi refugee projects in years past — knew she had to help . Together with an organization called Fountain of Hope , Katie worked with the refugees to determine a hog breeding program could help establish more secure food and income .
