Her day one at the market set the fire ablaze as she counted the earnings and it amounted to K2700 bank notes in total.
‘it dawned on me that if am raising this much in just a day what more would I gain if to carry on with the spirit and extend the backyard garden to my other dimba land a far.’
Tending to vegetables turned into a hobby for Moreen Mdoka, and she stole a shining light among many as she bravely invested the seeds into a thriving garden.
‘This produce is more than just food for us, it is a lifeline that eases the financial burden of feeding the entire family and funding my children's education.’
Every morning, Moreen rises early to tend to her garden, and as she carries the vegetables she plucked in the early hours, she reflects on the journey that brought her here.
Moreen's life took a challenging turn when her husband suffered a stroke, rendering him unable to work. With the sudden shift in family dynamics, Moreen stepped up as the breadwinner.
A small donation of vegetable seeds from the Hilden Charitable Fund was the catalyst for change.The income earned from selling vegetables at the market now helps sustain her family and invest in their future of their 3 children. All thanks to the Hilden Charitable Fund for the support.
