Hoisin Leivon

Hoisin Leivon and her husband Sanboi live in  Arunachal Pradesh, north-east province of India along with their seven  year old daughter. Since moving from the state of Manipur they have been  struggling financially. Hoisin had previous experience working on  piggery farms and had a desire to start a small piggery business to help  their struggling family. Pork is in great demand in Arunachal Pradesh  since the majority of the population eat pork.  After discussing various  options with an Empowered Poor representative, she was  granted 10,000 Rupees ($225) loan to buy four small pigs to start her  piggery business. Hoisin’s family members are committed to help to grow  their business.
