Grace is a married mother. However, her husband cannot work because he suffers from epilepsy. Some of their children have attended school, but dropped out because the family could not afford the fees. Grace gets food – mainly potatoes, cabbage and ugali – from relatives’ farms but this is only enough for the family to eat 3 evenings a week. They have no house of their own, so they live in a relative’s house which doesn’t have a kitchen and doesn’t offer much protection. They collect water from a river and use tin lamps for lighting.
