"After my husband died back in 2007, I had to move back home and start a fresh due to wrangles with my in-laws. I struggled doing odd jobs such as ferrying materials at construction sites just to earn a living. With a minimal and an unreliable pay of 4 dollars a day, I have to feed, educate my children and ensure they have a decent roof over their heads. Sadly, one of my children had to drop out of school and now works to help out with the family expenses. It is my wish to educate my children upto college level but lack of finances to accomplish this is my biggest hardship."
