Overcoming Life Changes
Overcoming Life Changes
From Bagel District, Salam Humaid was a married lady from the marginalized group. Salam had three young ladies and three little boys. The youngest child of Salam was merely four months old. Salam couldn’t find any peace in her family environment. She rather faced from her husband severe mental and verbal violence. Not only that she was also fully responsible of supporting her family financially. What worsened the situation was that her husband asked her daily for money in order to buy ‘qat’. You not only asked but also sometimes he would force her to do so.
Salam works in making products out of palm fronds.
However, she did not have enough customers . This was when AGF for Development intervened effectively in marketing her products through coordinating with “ Productive Household Center in Bagel” foundation. Afterwards , Salam noticed remarkable progress improvement in selling her products. The Foundation’s role was played through encouraging Salam based on the principal of social responsibility and the economic empowerment craftsmen by preserving the traditional heritage of Yemen.
When Salam was enjoying her life peacefully, the war broke out deteriorating the economic conditions. Consequently, Salam did not have the market anymore. In addition, due to the economic and security deterioration and deepening of the crisis, Salam could not afford the rent money of the simple house she lived in with her family. She resorted to taking a tent in a remote area in Bagel District. Therefore, another intervention of AGF for development came together to meet the call from Salam by coordinating with the partners of the “ Center for Productive Households Center in Bagel” to provide a place of residence for Salam and her family. Also AGF provided Salam with the rent money to make Salam live with less responsibility. This comes in the belief of the institution of the importance and inevitability of the role and humanitarian duty, which is the cornerstone of the development and the work of development institutions and organizations.
