Survival, by Mercy Mwende -A2

Women do many jobs in one day. They are mothers, daughters, and wives. They cook, clean, care for children, and find ways to make money. They do all this just to survive. Men rarely carry this much work in one day. Women wake up early and sleep late. They keep going even when they are tired. Their work keeps families alive, but it is often not seen or valued. This is the heavy load women carry every day.
