Abuk Garang, 33, mother of six, from Aweil
“Here in Aweil, the economic crisis is my biggest challenge. I sell vegetables in the market, but often I go home without making anything. My children stay home alone when I’m away. Everything is expensive and I often worry because I took out a loan to support my business and don’t know how I will be able to repay it. My five-year-old son died of malaria last year. I wasn’t able to take him to the hospital. We are barely able to afford one meal a day. I spend all my time providing for my family, and the little money I make is used for food. I wish we could go back to Sudan, where we lived for many years. My husband is there. He deserted us and I am responsible for my family.”
