Hawa Ibrahim, is a 50 year old mother of 10 children who saw an opportunity to improve her families livelihood and took control of the situation. Having relocated to Belet Xaawo late last year she relocated to Xafada Xananla where she was able to see improvements in the area though the expansion of the water system. This she saw through the construction of water kiosk 6.
Having sold her small wares under some shrubs, Hawa noted the empty kiosk room that provided shade both from the sun and rain. She therefore sough to carry her small shop within the kiosk where she also oversees the kiosk is running normally. With the window opening up to the water beneficiaries, Hawa was able to improve her small business where she now sells powdered milk, salt, washing powder and small tit bits. She is grateful for the water she now has access to as well as the fact that she can engage in an income generating activity to support her family. She is thankful for the project initiative and she hopes that more kiosks can be built that other women can come together and put up small shops in the kiosks.
