Families who are part of this project have a source of income. Depending on the variety, one avocado tree can provide over $500 annual income. He has also implemented a pig and buffalo breedng program. Families are given a pig or a buffalo to breed. Once they have 2 or 3 animals the project moves on to another family. Families can use the pigs and buffalos for food or to sell at market.
