"My husband was working with Komaza and life was good on my side. He was laid off one year ago and came back home. Since then life has changed completely. The family used to take three meals per day but now we take one meal in the evening. My two children are now weak. Sometimes they miss school due to hunger. I used to do the shopping for the family every after six months but now I have to was clothes after two weeks due to lack of washing detergents. My skin has now turned black unlike before. Lack of job is the challenge I am facing in life."
