Overview

I am a 33 year old mother of seven and a fistula survivor. I lived with a fistula for four years until I recently had surgery. My husband is not a good husband or father and sometimes we go without food for two days. Sometimes we only have water for supper.

My goals are to start a business selling clothes. I want to earn income to feed my children.

I need $450 for capital to purchase clothes. I will use my business skills I learned from Beyond Fistula to start my business reselling clothes.

Meeting this need will help me because I have my seven children to feed and pay school fees. My husband is not a good earner for the family so I must have a way to earn for us. I want to give my children a better life.

Nackline is a strong and driven woman. She is raising seven children with almost no help, and continued to care for them as best she could through four years of pain and shame from a fistula. She is now healed and has completed our business skills program. Nackline is a quick learner and has all the drive to care for her family if only she can get help to start her business. Beyond Fistula will continue to support her as she gets her business off the ground and gets her family to a place where they have more food security.
