She expresses her heartfelt thanks for being given the opportunity to stand on her own two feet. For 15 years, she earned an income as a day labourer on other people’s farms, never having her own enterprise. Thanks to the ‘All You Need Is Love’ project, she became the co-owner of a communal farm. With the support of this project, she has earned money for her children’s education and has even been able to save some for emergencies. She describes it as a fantastic programme.
