SWIZEX WESONGA
Things grew harder and harder for me in my life.
My neighbour’s and my family didn’t want to see me anymore. I had no house to live in. I was living in my co-wife’s house, who had already divorced our husband.
When it was raining out, the rain came into the house. I was in danger with my family because the water was pouring inside the house, and there were bees inside the house.
“A star does not compete with other stars around it; it just shines.”

Thank you so much for purchasing this book. The proceeds from this book goes to help all the women who have written in the book.
You will find out from their stories that these women are extremely poor. Many of them are widows and many children are orphans.
There is a lack of food and water for these people. Some still live in grass huts that cave in once the grass rots. Children drop out of school because they lack uniforms, socks, or shoes, and the school fees are not paid.
Some families have resorted to eating tree leaves and roots as they can’t buy any food, and they are having trouble growing food due to their lack of rain and resources.
As you read their stories, you will find that although they are dealing with unimaginable difficulties and heartbreak, they do what they can to stay positive and support their families.
