This pig is workin’ up a sweat doing an awesome job for a poor family in Vietnam. The provision of piglets to poor families, along with proper training on how to raise and care for pigs, is an important source of income for families once the offspring are sold at market. “I like raising pigs because it requires little investment and brings quick returns. I like to raise mother pigs and sell piglets for cash, which I use for my childrens’ education expenses and household equipment.” Hang Thi My, Sa Seng village, Vietnam
