“My name is Abuoi with age of 46 years. As old woman I don’t have my own home according to our culture, old women stays at her married daughter. …I managed to attend training although old. I don’t mind about my age…I would like to learn despite the age. Our culture could not allow girls and women to be free in expressing their rights. Girls are more exploited and denied education.” –Aboui from Sudan
“Recently the clashes interfered with our clans in our village Alool therefore we are displaced from our village. The gov’t is solving the disputes so that we go back. As a mother I work to survive throughout the day. Our culture doesn’t allow us to express our problems as women and girls in the society. The gov’t is planning disarmament. The culture and customs are very hard.” –Monica from Sudan
“Indeed I am married with eight children, two daughters married with uneducated men. Now according to our culture, a woman had no right over her children especially during marriages. You get no benefits. …Now I have farming plots which is initiated by WfW-Sudan, at least I get money from selling of vegetables. …Our culture is very strong but I took my three children to school. One girl and two boys in school.” –Rebecca from Sudan
“Your support found me in a very poor life in which I ate on a condition that I had to work in other people’s gardens and they gave me food as my salary. But after meeting you, my life has now improved and I no longer work in other people’s gardens to earn food; I joined with other women in an association where by we sell bananas; I also sell tomatoes in my home. At home my husband and I were not in peace at all but after receiving your support, we are now living in harmony. This is all because of you.” –Vestine from Rwanda
“I am thanking God that the sponsorship you have sent to me have helped me from the difficulties but now I have improved to a better ways of living. I am no longer very poor as I was before your sponsorship. No more sickness as before which was caused by poor ways of living. I have opened an account in the bank where I am saving my money every months and I am helped by the lessons we were taught in this program. Even if this program ends I will continue to do better. Will never go back to where I was before this sponsorship.” –Marie Gloriose from Rwanda
