Although She got married in the year of 2014, her husband went missing from 2015 leaving the only children orphan. Initially they did not have any suitable housing facility prior getting a temporary shelter after three (3) months. 

The family gets basic food from World Food Programme but could not enjoy meat or other nutritious food due to no income. MAUSA and GUSS provided them a great opportunity to eat meat through their qurbani project.
