Lydia is a single mother, as her husband passed away in 2009 from illness.
Her youngest 2 children go to primary school, but the eldest does not attend school because the family cannot afford the fees.
Lydia gets some food from her relatives’ farms, and the family eat only about 2 evenings a week, mainly potatoes and ugali.
They collect rain water and use lamps for light.
