Sahondra Razanamaholy
Charcoal Vendor
FundedMy name is Sahondra Razanamaholy. I’m 46 years old. I have 4 children of 2 sons and 2 daughters, they are aged 10 to 21 years old. I’m married. I’ve lived in Avaramanda for 46 years. I did my studies until 8th grade. I am a donuts-seller at the moment. I’d like to use this loan to expand my small business of donuts and charcoal. My dream is to have a better life and that my children may receive an education.

Hello from Sahondra. In my family we eat only two times a day - we do not eat breakfast. Yesterday we ate rice and greens for lunch and for dinner we had plain rice. My family's favorite food is rice with fish sauce.

Hi! It's Sahondra. The disease that my family often has is the flu. I think that the climate of Ambalavao is different from other places because of its geographical position, it is surrounded by mountains. For the seasons, I prefer winter, because it's the time when we are not lacking anything -- water, food, or money. Right now Ambalavao is in a rainy period and this has a big consequence on our business because I can only sell for half the day because of the rain. The less time to sell means the less money earned.

Hello! It's me, Sahondra. My day begins at 4:30 a.m. when I get my used clothing ready to sell. At 6:00 a.m. I eat breakfast. After that, I take a shower and then I go sell the clothings. I stay there all day and eat my lunch there as well. I am the one who makes the dinner in the evening and we eat at 7:00 p.m. After dinner, I count how much I have earned that day and then I go to bed.Sunday is a day of rest. I go to church in the morning, and then rest in the afternoon.

Hello! It's me, Rahondra. I have two children who are still in school. One is already in university and the other is in primary. For me, it is not at all easy, because I must cover all the expenses of the child who in university because here the scholarship is really very little and he is not able to buy even a tenth of the things he needs with this scholarship. It is difficult, but I know that if I want my child to study and have a good future, I need to make these sacrifices. I am the kind of parent that will sacrifice for my child to have a better future and to have the opportunity that I did not have.

Hello! It's me, Sahondra. My sale of used clothing is going well at this time even though prices have gone down a little because it is after the holiday celebration. For the vacation, my child is still little and he does not understand about vacations, so he spends his time playing. For the Independence Day celebration, we went to the stadium to watch the parade, and we got together for lunch with the family of my husband. This is the only time of year when we can get together with all his family. We stayed at home in the afternoon.

Hello! It's me, Sahondra. My used clothing sales is going very well at this time because the people are getting ready for our national Independence Day. It is the holiday which is the most celebrated in the Betsileo region because it is at this time that the harvest is done and the people have enough money. Thus, they wish to dress up for the celebration and we will profit from this. I will celebrate this holiday in the simplest way possible.
