Proposal No.4 (Group Name: Butterfly )

     

Project Name: Racing Pigs

Problem Statement:

There is very less job possibility in the camp so that some of the refugees usually go outside the camp and look for jobs. They have many problems going to work outside the camp for their survives and it causes many problems as well such as drugs, alcohol, diseases, and fights. Working with NGOs and CBOs in the camp cannot help them have adequate income for their families as TBBC is now reducing giving rations so that they have to take a risk working outside the camp.  In fact, it is a very serious concern for the students as some students also go outside the camp to work as they are having difficulties in their families.

Therefore, as we are students, we do not have time to go to work outside the camp to get some income for ourselves and families. And, we realize it can be dangerous for us so that we would like to hand us a hand to foster our livelihood skills and manage our significant time well during studying.

Goals:

1.      To make ourselves reliable by practicing to do this project racing pigs.

2.      To realize good ways to get income and to be able to use our significant time properly.

3.      To help us with our house expense as we are students and we have no income.

4.      To be able to use our left over in our houses properly to feed pigs.

Objectives:        

As our project racing pigs is well organized, we are going to implement our project by taking responsibilities in turns. One will take responsibilities for one day in turns to make ourselves respect our roles and responsibilities well. Moreover, we are going to feed the pigs twice a day. Before school, we will feed them once at 8:00 o’clock in the morning and the other time will be at 4:00 in the afternoon. Simultaneously, while feeding them, we will clean them and the pigsty well. And, if needed, we will order food for them and we, on the other hand, will try our best to look for some rough food for the pigs in the camp.

Activities:

 Our project will take place in the section-4.We will try to finish building our pigsty in November 2012 and we are going to start racing two pigs at the week of December, 2012 so that we can sell one of them in May 2013 to be able to buy a new pig and get some income. We are going to buy food the pig left and the new pig with some money from selling our pig. In fact, we are going to run our project by selling pigs and rebuying them for our sustainability to run our project racing pigs. Then If we have some money left, we are going to divide the some money left to share. And, we are going to sell the old pig in November, 2013 so that we can run on our project for long term.

Outcome:

We will gain some good livelihood skills by having this project and we can also get some income for our family. And, we will be able to manage our time and things well. By racing pigs to get some income as students, we can be role moderns for the communities and we can inspire them to gain some good livelihood skills and get some income by doing some projects in the camp without taking a risk going outside the camp to work, especially students. It will be very helpful for them. Moreover, they will gain many skills. It can reduce drug problems as well so that our camp will be with full of peace.
