Atek ki Lwak was formed out of the suffering of women in this community. We wanted to make sure that women have sources of money, rather than being forced to wait for money from our husbands. We have joined THRIVEGulu’s literacy program, to learn how to read and write. We also have a trained peer counselor who we can talk to about our problems, and some of us are involved in THRIVEGulu’s group therapy program.
