Blessing Batubo

Blessing Batubo lived with her seven children and her husband in a three-bedroom rented house in Njemanze for 12 years. She was at the market when the demolition started. When she returned home, she found her children standing outside the house. She was unable to save anything. Blessing used to sell soft drinks and beer in Njemanze, but her fridges and stock were destroyed in the demolition. The family is now living at the church. Blessing does not know where her husband is; he left shortly after the demolition. Her husband’s brothers and sisters have been helping her care for the children.
