"Since I am just a housewife, I depend mostly on my husband's casual job and the only work I am doing is charcoal burning, a job that drains much of my energy. Therefore, the lack of a stable source of income to cater to my family's basic needs like better housing and school fees is generally the biggest hardship that I have ever faced in my life."
