​A gift of funds to purchase a breeding pair of pigs provides a family with a sustainable food source and salable extra animals. A rooster and hens provide eggs and chickens for consumption and for sale. A breeding pair of goats provides meat and milk and extra income from sale of excess livestock. Income from the sale of excess pigs, goats, chickens, and eggs more than pays for the rice, beans, cheese, the staples of a family’s diet.
