Description :
Zuria lost her right leg when she was 9 years old. At age 14, she was forced into marrying a man 46 years older than her (pictured, third left). She now has 7 children and lives in very poor conditions.
Initially, Zuria wanted to open a grocery store with the help of the ICRC. But her husband didn't want her to be exposed to men's stares. So they settled for a cow, which will help the family with her milk production and the sale of her calf.
