"The programme has given me the confidence to dream again"
Despite losing her daughter and home in a violent attack, Linda found the strength to rebuild her life. Through the Stronger Women, Stronger Nations programme, she is working towards a brighter future.
"Through the programme, I found strength in the shared experiences of my sisters. Their stories and support helped me heal in ways I never expected. I started reconnecting with my community, attending meetings and even listening to music again."
