For many years, Silibaziso Handa has grown cotton on her five hectares of land in Mavhulele village in Zimbabwe's Gokwe South District.
But even at the age of 63, she is still growing the cash crop despite facing poverty.
Widowed and taking care of four orphaned grandchildren, she has made sure to plant cotton each farming season.
