“Life has really changed since I joined with BeadforLife.  I used to crush stones all day long.   I do not have a hard burden under the hot sun.  I get to work in my house. I also support my parents now that I make money from the beads.  I have my own house in the new village and from my plot I can harvest greens enough to feed the family and buy some salt and soap.  I eat fresh potatoes now.”
