My name is Annie, I am 27 I have two children, and am the guardian of my three young nieces. Life hasn’t been easy for us since we lost our parents. I promised my sister I would care for her girls but many days I was ashamed that I could not find enough food for them all.
Selling cassava at this stall may seem simple, but for me, it’s been a lifeline. With this business, I’ve been able to put food in the children’s stomachs and send them to school with bags and books. Even when the weather is bad or I am tired I am happy at my stall, every sale brings happiness.
Starting wasn’t easy. I am not well educated and there were times when doubt and uncertainty clouded my mind, but I held onto hope. With the training and support provided by Bishop Mark, I learned many things. The other women help me with good ideas and I help them.
I am no longer uncertain or ashamed. I can provide for the children and this fills my heart with joy. They are happy and strong.
I am grateful to God for leading me to Ohfi and my new friends.
