The ‘Box for a Farmer’s Wife’ project, initiated by the Wellington CWAA, is a country-wide initiative aimed at showing compassion for the women who, more often than not, keep their husbands and children “emotionally standing”, according to Juanita Loubsher, chairperson of the branch.
According to Marize Els, the wife of a farmer near Bothaville, more than 1 000 boxes have been received from townspeople and from surrounding towns.
