29/9/2009"I was so poor after my husband died that I was almost a beggar. My house had no roof, doors or windows. Today I am confident and earn money daily - I am a community animal health worker. I have 12 goats, several chickens and I’ve just bought a donkey to carry water. My children are all at school and I am hoping my eldest boy will become a doctor. I don’t need a husband to support me now."
