Meet one of our card makers:
Jeanette is 24 years old and lives with her brother, who is 21. She has a few siblings, but only lives with one, whom she supports as he doesn’t have a job. She enjoys cooking, especially rice and potatoes!
Both of Jeanette’s parents died of sickness: her mother when she was four and her father when she was seven. She lived with her older sisters who were able to take care of her before they got married. She finished the second year of secondary school, but stopped because she wasn’t able to pay the school fees.
Since coming to work at CfA three years ago, Jeanette has had a steady job that enables her to pay for her basic needs and support her younger brother. It has made her life so much easier and more enjoyable.At CfA she enjoys making cards and especially enjoys working in her team because they share tasks. Jeanette has started saving so that she can either return to finish school or start up her own small business – she hasn’t decided yet.
Every time you buy Cards from Africa you are helping to change lives like Jeanette’s!
So on behalf of all of our card-making team, an enormous THANK YOU!
