Alice Naluminsa has a business of making bricks and burning them for sale. Being a woman, she can not make enough bricks for the day single handedly hence she hires workers to make the bricks and the payments depend on how many bricks one makes. Once the bricks are dry, the same boys help Alice with arranging them for burning with firewood and at the end of it all, the business is paying. Trucks come to her work place with orders to load bricks and the mode of payment is cash. Alice is making money because it is rare for her to run out of bricks. Working with her husband in the same trade has brought confidence in what she does and as a result, she has been able to look after her mother and her family as she hopes for a better professional life for her children.
