The Canada Fund provided 128,829RMB; local villager contributed labor, sand and wood valued at 79,560RMB for a total value of 208,389RMB. The project targeted three Tibetan natural villages; 102 pigsties were completed. Pigsties contain swine so they do not roam about the village, improve local sanitation, contribute to increase weight gain for swine (pigsties are solar heated and warm), contribute to better swine health, and concentrate manure in one location that is then used as field fertilizer. Lumogyal (b. 1960) said that after completion of the pigsty, "It is easier for me to feed the pigs, since all the feed is in (a room of) the pigsty. The floor is concrete so everything is easier. I don't have to look for the pig when it is time to feed it." Tsedergyal (b. 1952) said, "Usually my wife and daughters care for the pigs but now with this pigsty, my sons also want to care for the pigs since the pigsty is very clean now and swine care is more convenient than before. My family will surely have surplus pork to sell... Some village conflicts caused by pigs are less now. Pigs no longer get into fields and root at household walls."
