“He used to come home drunk and beat me, so I took the kids and left. Now I raise them alone by myself.”
Chandra is a 47-year-old single mother raising her youngest daughter alone after leaving an abusive marriage. She works long days doing domestic labour, grinding flour, and selling food, but it’s still not enough. Some days she borrows just to feed them. She keeps going, hoping to build a home and secure a safer future for her child.
