Snail Farmer, Age: 64

[Ismail AbdulAzeez]

With a family income of under $2 per day, Gladys jumped at the opportunity to participate in SEEDS Together. She already has laid out a plan to use the profits from her new snail farm! Snail farming is capital intensive, but extremely profitable and manageable; with her new increased income, Gladys will sign everyone up in her family for the National Health Insurance, send her two youngest children to school, pay the community levy and take better care of herself. Gladys is anxious for the reassurance that snail farming will bring her, most importantly the ability to give her children well-rounded care. Opportunities are limited for a 64-year-old mother with a junior high education; this snail farming microloan could change Gladys's life.
