Jamila lost both of her legs amputated due to a Houthi landmine in the Taiz Governorate. Since husband has diabetes and cannot work, Jamila works to support their several children by graving livestock in Jabal Al-Jarajar in Taiz.
The amputation of her legs caused Jamila severe suffering, preventing her from continuing herding livestock. More than that, she says that she tries to walk many times, forgetting that her legs are amputated. Jamila adds that life has become tiring, and she cannot serve herself and her family.
At first, a philanthropist provided a small grocery project for Jamila. However, due to the increasing expenses of the daily needs of her family, the grocery capital eroded. Tawakkol Foundation provided additional support to Jamila’s grocery store which included a solar energy system, a refrigerator, and the supply of goods, which boosted the capital of the small grocery store.
