ENGLISH VERSION



My Biggest Impact



When I first started working with women, I noticed the kind of life they were living: working hard all day long and then, in the evening, getting beaten up by an alcoholic husband. Where could they go for help? They tolerated this life only because they needed a home, a roof over their head.



After observing these women's situation I realized that I too had a dream and that was to have a home where I could be secure, from where nobody could throw me out. At that time, it was a huge challenge for me to buy land to build my own home. But I accepted this challenge and started to save money until I had enough to buy a plot of land. Getting all the documents needed for this wasn't easy for me. My mother used to tell me, 'you are a woman, how can you do all this, how can you find a contractor. Its very difficult.\"



But my younger sister helped me and after a lot of difficulties, finally I had my dream come true. Since then I have been feeling independent and living in my own house with my mother.



Summary: I feel, my biggest impact has been to change my own attitude towards my abilities and overcome all hurdles to fulfil a dream.
