But now I have a range of different fruit and vegetables, and my turn-over has increased significantly’, she says. A mother of six children, Ihite Walde says that she is the sole earner in her family, as her husband has been sick for the past number of years, and is unable to work. 'It is difficult for us because my husband is sick, but at least we have an income from the work that I do, and it is particularly important that I have been able to grow this business', she says.          Related Topics          Ethiopia          ›› Ethiopia Home Page ›› Ethiopia News                   Case Studies          ›› More Info                                        Self Help Africa is a limited liability company.
