HOPE EXISTS  DESPITE AGE THROUGH INNOVATION

My name is Mary Mutenyo, a widow who joined Chenda Kalaha Self Help Group to at least revive my hope for survival.  In 1999, two years after losing my husband, the situation I was in was a terrible one in which everything became too hard when all our children had gone to stay away. I was too lonely. Joining Chenda Kalaha Self help Group gave me comfort and a warmth that has become hope that adds to my years. I have a small business of selling omena and vegetables to help carry me across in life.
