About the Cause
Posted by TH0306 in Thailand on 10/09/2025
The church's pig raising activity aims to support families of enrolled youth, especially those facing poverty and seeking vocational skills, by providing a sustainable way to generate income essential for food, education, healthcare, and daily needs. Recognizing that many families in partner churches have limited resources, this activity offers an affordable and quick-return livelihood option that also supplies protein to the community and fosters a culture of sharing. The project begins by supplying pig breeds and feed, followed by training church members in key aspects, including pig management, healthcare, and marketing. Once the pigs reach maturity, they can be sold for income or used to assist needy families, creating a model of self-reliance and social support. Through collaboration with church members, this initiative seeks to promote lasting economic, social, and spiritual growth within the community.

How the church will sustain the Cause
Our church is committed to ensuring the pig farming project’s long-term sustainability by maximizing internal resources such as available space, existing buildings, equipment, and volunteer labor from church members to oversee operations, thereby reducing management costs. Revenue generated from pig sales and related products is reinvested into purchasing feed, maintaining health care, and supporting equipment upkeep, fostering a self-sustaining cycle. We implement careful planning in budgeting, raising, health management, and marketing to optimize efficiency and minimize losses. Additionally, members receive training in pig farming, feed management, disease prevention, and farm operations, empowering them to professionally manage the project and reduce dependence on external experts. We also actively build networks and collaborate with neighboring communities through experience exchanges and labor sharing, which provides additional support in raw materials and manpower without extra costs. Through these strategic approaches, the pig farming project aims to operate independently, generate ongoing income, and sustainably strengthen the church community, without reliance on external financial assistance.
