Carolina é mãe, uma das muitas que, no contexto de emergência, tem trabalhado para contornar a situação desafiadora em que se encontra.

A Relentless Struggle in Southern Angola: The South West Angola Emergency Response Project relief amid food insecurity
Carolina is a mother, one of many who, in the context of the emergency, has been working to get around the challenging situation she finds herself in. Aged 42 and with her five children, she lives in the community of Bata-Bata, Humpata municipality in Huíla. In the short rainy season that is recorded in the south, Carolina works on her small plot, and in the dry season, which is most of the seasonal period, she does informal jobs to make ends meet for her children. The short rainy season is not enough for planting to be prosperous, and with the economic crisis worsening in the country, families are seeing episodes of food shortages become increasingly dramatic.
