Older women in Balluay, Philippines noticed how some of the assisted school children were raising their own pigs. A number of local lolas (grandmas) asked if they, too, could be part of such an income-generating project.
The very old and very young, we’re learning, are relatively vulnerable. Solution: We will help some sweet, older folks enjoy a sense of security by enabling them to purchase piglets sold by the students.
As of this date, 23 Saranay women have borrowed money to buy pigs. After they sell their pigs, they will repay the Saranay group so others can borrow from the fund.
