Manal works on a bus with small children along with her job at Green Creations. Her husband doesn’t have a job and she says he doesn’t want one. It is a huge source of tension in their family.
Working at Green Creations has given her the opportunity to learn new things. She has gotten to know the other women and enjoys being with them. It gives her a reason to get up in the morning. With the money she earns from Green Creations she is able to pay for some of the basic household needs and also pay for her daughters to go to university. She is thankful that some of her girls are going to university.
