Nzima Tango Tamala lives in Makwatata with her two children. She is just 20 years old, but her children are aged 11 and 8. They are cared for by their grandmother, as Nzima is studying to be a teacher in the Chipata College of Education.
When I asked her how she got pregnant so young, Nzima shrugged and laughed, “that’s life in the village!”
In this video, Nzima speaks about how she copes as a single mother, and about the day-to-day challenges that face many other women in rural Zambia.
