So today, we had a meeting with Florence to tell her about my plan to buy her a property and build her a house. And she was ever so grateful, as she has been praying for years for her own land so she can leave her husband. And now I have arrived in Mongu and was luckily enough to meet her, and began thinking about building a house, not knowing she has been praying about it. Fate I say...
In the meeting we discussed that we want to build her a house, but we don't want her husband to be the person who signs for the land, and we don't want him to live there. Because she was telling us how he beats her, and sometimes so hard she cant walk. And that he cheats on her regularly in front of her, and has threatened to kill her. And he is verbally abusive to her as well, like he said to her over the weekend that he wishes for her to get hit by a car. He also doesn't help her get around at all, and his reason is that he gave her Precious and she is her eyes. Precious is 7, she has the right to be a child.
This man seriously disgusts me, and everyday I talk to her, the stories seem to be getting worse. I don't actually think he can be called a man in fact, because no man should treat a woman like this, and especially a blind woman.
So this makes me more inspired to get her out of the house. The police are actually trying to catch this man because there have been cases against him because of abuse. So the property will be Florence s, and he is not allowed to claim it or stay there.
I am so glad that I have been given the opportunity to get them a house and away from the husband/father. But in doing so, I need to raise the funds. PLEASE HELP!!
Land is R1600
House is R3200
So in total need to raise R4800.
If you are able to donate money then please contact me.
