what do we do? 2

our overarching goals
3
Capacity building in Cameroonian universities
Local management of all research
Sustainable structure for fostering the next
generation of leading African scholars
our overarching goals
We can reach these goals if our research has tangible positive
outcomes also for the rural communities we target.
This is the main rationale of “Pig for Pikin”
3
lower fungom
Besides its amazing linguistic diversity, Lower Fungom is an area
suffering from a number of problems: bad roads, underdeveloped
farming, inefficient schooling and limited health care.
Lower Fungom is not a place of hope. It’s a place of emigration.
3
what can we do?
This is what we asked the people
of Lower Fungom and their
chiefs in a number of meetings.
3
pigs can help
Locals see in pig rearing a great economic resource. Not any one breed of
pigs, though: Large White, this is what they aim to raise in their piggeries.
Selected in the UK ca. 1850, this is a very adaptable and productive breed.
3
pigs for children’s education
Sustainable pig farming can support local schools by funding:
• new or improved buildings
• fair salary to community teachers
• libraries
• …
we did so far
3-week training for
13 young farmers
Team of 50+ local
(temporary) volunteers
Started construction of
2 hub piggeries
our future
We can cover most expenses until the Pig for
Pikin project will be largely self-sufficient
Follow our story on our blog and Facebook
page and discover what we overlooked…
But we overlooked something in our budget.
This will crucially contribute to success of the process
development —> long-lasting research —> local students —> leading scholars
