I would love to share yet another update of a woman working on our project. Attached is the photo of Mama Susan, she started working with us in 2019 until now and is happy with her work knowing the impact of the project in her life. Today she is harvesting fresh cowpeas from our garden ready to go to market while the other women are busy weeding and watering and planting some seeds.
Mama Susan is one of many women whose work here has transformed her life for the better, she has been a widow for 15 years taking care of her four children. With no job available she used to walk to the neighborhood and seek any job she could find so as to get at least food to feed her kids. As these unsecured jobs were not even easily available, the family could not afford three meals a day leading to her kids being malnourished and not being able to attend school on a daily basis. Medication issues were another far reaching milestone for her.
Securing a job in our projects has been a life-saving medicine in her life, I am happy to report that Mama Susan is "graduating" from poverty state life to a sustainable state life. She loves the fact that she has a job that is secure for her from where she can get her daily bread and learn more about agriculture. She is now in a position to eat well, take her kids to school and happily live a dignified life that every woman deserves. She says she is in a position to even do a little saving to help her in an emergency, WHAT AN IMPACT!!! Thank you so much for helping us put a smile on their faces and hope back into their lives. We are so grateful for your support.
