Our Project's
Pig Project
SWIWSCO currently owns 15 pigs. The goal is to buy, sale and raise these pigs in an effort to create a source of income for SWIWSCO. The project has been established by personal funds of the SWIWSCO board members. The pigs live on SWIWSCO grounds and are maintained by the children and staff. The pig project is still in early stages of development. As the project progresses we will be sure to add updates.
Goat Project
SWIWSCO has thirteen goats. They will be used to produce milk for the children. The goats are kept on SWIWSCO grounds. They are easily maintained as they graze on the grasses in font of the orphanage. There is little to no cost to SWIWSCO in order to keep the goats. The goats are cared for by the SWIWSCO staff and children. Eight goats was donated by our Volunteer Mr. Michael Weldon from england on October 2011, thanks to Michael, friends and family who make that happened.
Garden Project
SWIWSCO's garden is currently being restored by the hands of volunteers, staff and SWIWSCO children. The seeds to plant new fruits and vegetables will be donated by volunteers. The garden is located on SWIWSCO grounds. The garden is used as a source to provide nutritious food to our children. This is also an effort made to help cut cost due to the fact that half of our budget is spent on food. The garden seed and equpment has been donated by our Volunteer Mr. Michael Weldon from england thanks to you, your family and friend.

Art Project
The Art Project is the newest edition to the SWIWSCO Project's. The project is being ran and operated by board members and volunteers.
