Buyisakuphi Shange joined ACAT in 2022, after attending the field Basic Life Skills training course, which was held in her area. She says: “I have experienced a great improvement since I joined the ACAT programme. I read the Bible and pray with my children. I am so thankful for the work of ACAT, especially in the deep rural area where I am living. Now I eat healthy food with less oil. Before, I used to buy five litres of cooking oil each month. I established a vegetable garden and fenced it in order to protect it from the animals. My family eats well and I sell any surplus to the community. I have a business of beadwork and traditional attires. Members of our community hire these outfits when they have traditional ceremonies and weddings. This business is good especially in the rural areas. The training really helped me to learn how to keep records for my businesses.”
