ORETHA: E780-BOR
January 2024: Oretha is a thirty-nine-year-old single mother of five children. She provides for her family through subsistence farming. Oretha is a high school graduate and sometimes volunteers in her children’s school. She counts it a blessing to be able to read, write, and do math. Oretha is a subsistence farmer and sells her produce in the local market. Many market women are unable to do basic math and thus are exploited and lose a lot of their profit. Oretha asked for (and was granted) a farming supplies package to expand her farming enterprise. Sponsored by: CoStar Group
