Owning one pig provides a family $550 in savings during the first year alone.

In years past, rural Haitians kept small native pigs as a kind of four-footed bank account. Their “piggy” bank was used to pay for schooling, medical treatment, or other needs in hard times. Pigs fulfilled a family’s self-reliance and economic freedom.

However, in the 1970s a swine disease was discovered in the Dominican Republic and in some Haitian animals. International health organizations forced both the DR and Haitian governments to kill virtually every Creole pig—more than a million in Haiti alone. The owners were barely, if ever, compensated. In order to have something to sell, Haitians began to cut, burn and sacrifice their orchards and forests for charcoal. The loss of pigs triggered an economic and environmental collapse from which the country has still not recovered.

THE COMMUNITY COALITION FOR HAITI (CCH), and its Haitian partners, will reintroduce the native Creole pig to help rural families. CCH will work with veterinary services to breed and assure their health.
