4. Other Sources of Income
The women used to participate in two income-generating projects which had been supported by SC's Reproductive Health programme, one involved vegetable gardening and sales, and the other was a poultry-raising project. Both projects have ceased recently. The vegetable gardens ceased to be viable as the prices of other basic goods rose and the women were unable to earn an adequate income from selling their vegetables. Some women working individually still earn a little money from vegetable sales, however. The poultry project failed when their stock of chickens was killed off by snakes.
It is possible that other CSWs have alternative, supplementary sources of income, but it was not possible to get any information on that from this interview.
