“We are stuck paying off debt, so we can’t even think about a good future.”
Sureshini, 34, lives in Batticaloa with her husband, two daughters aged seven and three, and her father. Her husband works whenever he can, but some days they have no food and borrow from relatives. They pay 20,000 rupees every month for a loan. Sureshini works hard and hopes to fix their house and educate her daughters.
