I have no income except the wage paid for my son. Now, we serve the local people and earn income. Previously, the area was full of waste materials and affected the health of the people moving around. Now it is clean; it serves as a seating place. People use the toilet and the shower. We as a group of women stay together and discuss our challenges and how to create more income for the future. Previously, we had no shower and buy water from private taps. I am grateful for Habitat for creating this opportunity for us; now we have everything, we feel healthy-Genet Sherif.
