Glady’s Banda, a 32-year-old mother from Chinsewu village under Traditional Authority Machinjiri, is working tirelessly to support her three children after her husband left the family to seek better opportunities in South Africa. Facing the daily challenge of providing for her household, Glady’s and her children collect stones in their area to produce quarry for sale—a physically demanding job that yields only a small income, often insufficient to meet their basic needs.
Grinding stones in a quarry is a difficult and sometimes dangerous task, with Glady’s enduring frequent hand injuries and exposure to dust and flying stone fragments. Despite these hardships, she continues her work out of necessity, determined to put food on the table each day. The difficult conditions are reflected in her home, which is in urgent need of repair. Glady’s hopes for assistance from well-wishers to help her rebuild her house and to start a small business, which she believes would allow her to better provide for her children. She has shared her contact number, 0987819295, for anyone able to offer support.
