As part of CCDO’s livelihoods thematic area, the youth economic empowerment initiative through pig production continues to yield positive results in Kalirima. The piggery project is progressing well and the pass-on of piglets is demonstrating tangible impact among the youth club members.
Agness Lucius, Chairlady of the Kalirima Youth Club, expressed appreciation for the initiative, noting that it has greatly empowered the youth. She further shared her intention to construct her own pigpen in order to continue engaging in piggery production and sustain the gains made through the project.
This initiative is contributing to improved livelihoods, increased self-reliance and long-term economic empowerment for young people in the community.
