We had no food or milk for my children, says Falone from Zambia, who is now able to support her family on her own with the help of Caritas Czech Republic
39-year-old Falone fled with her family from the Democratic Republic of the Congo to Zambia, where she tried to start over. However, her difficult past still haunts her. Rebels attacked her family in Congo – her father was killed in the attack and her mother died years later from cancer triggered by severe stress. In order to provide for her large family, Falone opened her own shop selling household items and fashion. Today, her business is thriving – thanks in part to Caritas Czech Republic.
