Looking after a large family can be tough. Looking after a large family alone is even tougher, especially if you are a single woman, living in poverty in a rural Ethiopian village. In Ethiopia, families have almost six children on average , and caring for a large family can put a lot of stress on many parents. This is particularly true in the Sidama Zone, where food insecurity is high and weather unreliable. Sherbato Adamo’s family has even greater challenges, as she has been taking care of her children alone after her husband died twelve years ago. Sherbato Adamo’s husband died 12 years ago, leaving
