MILCAH MASHONGANYIKA

Born in 1966, Milcah was raised in a family of 6 children.  She was married in 1982 and has 5 children.  Her husband died in 1994, at the age of 32.  She is now the sole support for her children.

Milcah learned to paint at the Weya Community Training Centre in 1988.  She moved to Harare in February 1998, to paint on hand-thrown pottery at Ros Byrne Pottery.  She says she moved to the city because “every week there was money,” thus enabling her to “give my children a better life.”
