Manykyamba is a 37 year old mother of three growing children. She was widowed three years ago when her husband died from complications of HIV/AIDS. His death came as a complete shock to the family, as they did not know he was ill. By all accounts her husband was a kind and loving husband who was very good to his children. He likely hid his condition from them in an effort to not worry them. Sadly, this meant he did not receive the necessary medical care to prolong his life. Now Manykyamba is left to raise their three children alone. She has no reliable income and there are no relatives that can support them financially. Her family took pity on her and despite their own meager dwellings they fashioned a temporary hut for the family to live in on the same plot of land. This hut is in constant need of repair and does little to keep the family safe from the annual monsoons. Due to their poverty the children were sent to live in a government hostel that provides them shelter and food while they attend school. Their mother attempts to work odd jobs to earn an income while they are away, but her earnings are quickly spent on food and repairs to the shelter.
The good news for this family is that Manykyamba and all three of her children are currently healthy, and all of the children have managed to remain in school through these difficult years. They are a ray of hope for their poor mother. She is a hard-working and dedicated woman who would like to ensure their continued education. With the help of a sponsor she is eager to receive the training or start-up costs necessary to take a good job and support her family.
