Myza Wele has been a widow for about 8 years. She is not really sure, but she has 8 children and her oldest was about the size of her youngest when her husband died.
Myza has been a star student of GTLI’s CBLA training, proud that she and all 8 children now use their pit latrine. In fact, it’s full now. The family is going to plant a mango tree over the former latrine and eventually they will have mangos to eat. The prospect of future mangos makes pit latrine usage much more exciting!
Myza wants to be a chicken farmer. Her eyes are too tired for beading but she needs a source of income and more food. Her male goats have been sold and now her female goats are being exchanged for grain. Her eyes light up when she talks about chickens. She knows that her children can eat the eggs and when times get really tough, they can also eat the chickens.
