TACKLING POVERTY &
HUNGER AT THE ROOT
🌱 FROM ONE PIGLET
TO A FUTURE
How a Sow Becomes a Legacy of Full Bellies and Dignity
ONE SOW. THOUSANDS OF STORIES.
How James’ Piglet Ignited a Chain Reaction of Hope
Our model transforms a single pregnant sow into an unstoppable force against hunger. No handouts. Just smart math, trained communities, and pigs that pay hope forward.
Here’s how one sow changes everything:
- → Year 1: James receives 1 pregnant sow → Feeds his 3 children
- → Year 3: Her offspring reach 7 families → Survives disease outbreak (89% survival rate)
- → Year 5: 92% of families voluntarily share piglets → James trains neighbors
- → Year 10: 21,349 piglets thrive across villages → Feeds 8x more families than traditional Heifer-style aid programs.
THE MIRACLE IN THE MATH
THAT FIRST SOW DIDN’T JUST FEED JAMES’ FAMILY. SHE BECAME AFRICA’S MOST EFFICIENT HOPE ENGINE:
- 1 sow → 152,496 piglets born in 10 years (even after 44% losses)
- 1 family rising → 1,000+ families self-sufficient
- $0 donations → $1M+ in self-generated revenue by Year 10
HOW ONE SOW MULTIPLIES MIRACLES
- YOUR START
A pregnant sow + training → 3 self-sufficient families - YOUR IMPACT
Every female piglet returned → 7 new families rising - AFRICA’S MATH
21,349 piglets survived drought and disease →
8x more families fed than traditional aid
JAMES’ JOURNEY: 10 YEARS OF HOPE
(Real Farmer, Uganda)
YEAR 1 → Survival
“The first female piglet changed everything.
We named her ‘Tikyo’ – ‘Hope’ in our language.
Her litter fed my children. No more empty bowls at sunset.”
→ 47% income jump in 18 months
YEAR 3 → Strength
“Tikyo’s piglets went to 7 neighbors.
I became ‘Teacher James’ – training others.
When swine fever hit, the church vet saved our herd.”
→ 89% survival rate (vs. 65% Africa average)
YEAR 5 → Security
“Sold pigs to buy a milk goat.
My wife started a vegetable patch.
Our daughters now dream of university.”
→ 92% of families voluntarily pass on piglets
YEAR 10 → Legacy
*“My farm has 24 pigs.
Tikyo’s great-granddaughters feed 8 families.
Last month, I funded a village well.”*
→ 1 family’s story → 1,000+ fed

1 SOW → 152,496 FULL BELLIES
The Only African Livestock Miracle That Funds Itself
190X GROWTH. 8X MORE FAMILIES. SELF-SUSTAINING HOPE
Your Partnership Fuels Africa's Food Security Revolution
From Aid to Enterprise: Turn $50K into $4M of Self-Fueling Impact
What if a $50,000 grant could launch a self-replicating poverty solution that:
→ Triples revenue by Year 5 ($183K → $796K)
→ Reaches 67,253 families by Year 10 (not 21,349)
→ Eliminates future funding asks after Year 3?
Saws of Hope has achieved this through our Breeding-Integrated Hope Multiplier™—a paradigm shift beyond traditional livestock aid.
The Breakthrough: Vertical Integration
While competitors distribute pigs, we engineer self-sustaining agricultural ecosystems:
THE PROVEN IMPACT
1 Grant → Exponential Transformation:
🐖 21,349 female piglets returned to churches by Year 10 (after 44% mortality)
👨👩👧👦 Reaches 8X more families than traditional programs (384 vs 120 families in 3 years)
💰 100% self-funded by Year 5 through livestock revenue ($57,300 covers operations)
📈 190X growth from Year 1 to Year 10 (112 → 21,349 piglets)
HOW WE OUTPERFORM RISK
"56% of piglets survive against disease, drought, and poverty—yet we create 3X faster impact than any model in Africa."
YOUR PARTNERSHIP BUILDS
- GRANTS: Seed transformative growth (Years 1-3)
- LIVESTOCK REVENUE: $1,067,450 by Year 10 funds regional scaling
- SERVICE CONTRACTS: Vet training & biogas systems cut mortality by 45%
CRITICAL WINDOW: ACT NOW
$85,000 in Years 1-2 delivers:
→ 250 vaccinated sows
→ 3 mobile vet units
→ 30 trained church coordinators
→ Path to 152,496 piglets by Year 10
We do not accept donations. We co-create legacies.
