A 55-year-old stroke survivor who is selling her craft at the Central Division Women’s Craftshow is the lone bread winner of her family.

Asenaca Nabobo says she suffered from a stroke in 2012 and her husband supported the family but he passed away in 2017.

Nabobo says that is when she knew she would have to work to support her two children.

She has two sons, one goes to university while one son started work today.

She says she attended the Makoi Women's Vocational Training Centre and learnt to make her craft to help her support her family.

She says even though she is still limping, she will not use it as an excuse and she will keep moving on.

Nabobo's craft is on display in the Monday Club tent at the craft show in Sukuna Park in Suva.
