- naturally tilled soil

The Impact of Your Gift
One impoverished community in South Asia was blessed with several pigs, empowering families to be able to feed, clothe and educate their children for the first time in their lives. The community was stable enough that when outside refugees fleeing ethnic conflicts arrived, they were able to buy their own land and participate in the pig farming project to provide for their families, too. One local leader commented, “The knowledge we are gaining will give us more profit than anything. I’m only 30 years old, and I feel like I’ve received a lifetime of training!”
