Genik (39) from Saba Village in Central Lombok. |
Oxfam’s partner in Indonesia, APIK NTB, provides legal help to women and children, victims of human trafficking and women who suffer from domestic violence or discrimination.
We’re also helping women like Genik, who would otherwise face the threat of impoverishment, to rebuild their lives and economic independence.
Here's what Genik has to say about how APIK NTB have helped her shape a better future for her family:
“My husband abandoned me for a younger wife and left me with nothing.
I had no money to look after our children,” says Genik.
“APIK NTB’s lawyers worked hard to help me get an alimony payment from my husband. They also gave me a small grant that I used to buy ducks. I’ve been breeding ducks and selling cooked, salted eggs. I’m now raising several goats as well and I can afford to send my daughter to college.”
Help improve the lives of other families like Genik's by giving the gift of a duck or a goat from Oxfam Unwrapped.

Ducks provide eggs that in turn produce more ducks and eggs that can then be sold to create an income. |

A goat is an invaluable resource for a family. They can produce milk to drink or sell and fertiliser for crops! Buy online for $47 |
