Sabahan homemaker Rose Petrus Payak was 55 when she took a leap of faith and ventured into ginger farming.

In 2018, the Tambunan-based woman became a member of the Women Support Group Tambunan Enterprise (WSGTE), a social enterprise that aims to make it possible for members to make an income for themselves while sustaining its own continued advocacy against gender-based violence.
