Hope

By bringing this hog breeding program to the Dzaleka camp , families are now enjoying greater self-reliance , as this industry helps to create wealth , reduce poverty , lower meat prices , improve crop production , and reduce malnutrition . Hogs were the ideal choice for the refugee camp because they ’ re highly reproductive , so they can quickly generate more income , and are also omnivores , meaning they can be fed a wide variety of foods .
To help bring the hog breeding program to the Dzaleka camp , Katie reached out to the dōTERRA Healing Hands Foundation ® , which has helped Katie with Malawi projects before . With a donation from the dōTERRA Healing Hands Foundation , Katie and the Fountain of Hope built a structure to shelter the hogs in the camp . It may seem simple , but by introducing hog breeding , refugees can now tackle what once were major survival challenges . They now have hope for improving their nutrition , becoming self-reliant , and rising from poverty .
