Video | Mariam the carpenter
In a remote upper Egyptian village, Mariam supports her family through the sweat of her own brow. Abandoned by her husband, she has refused help from anyone, including the church. Instead, she's made a pact with God for support. Taking on carpentry work, a profession dominated by men, Mariam fashions structures from recycled wood. Despite her health problems and the challenges posed by gender dynamics, Mariam has chosen to make it on her own.
