Zuzana is a 26-year-old mother to 5 and comes from Mnongwa village in Traditional Authority Chadza, Lilongwe. Her husband left 4 years ago to find work in the city with the promise of sending back help but she has not heard from him ever since. This has left her to fend for her 5 children as well as her 3 siblings.
Zuzana has a small piece of land which she uses as a maize farm and she also does casual Labour in a nearby farm where she makes $10 a month. Nevertheless, the income and harvest were not enough to sustain her family because she had to use part of the money to maintain her roof.
