Their father is a fishman but uses other people’s net and their mother sells vegetables to support the family. Even with both of their jobs combined they make very little to feed and pay for their children’s school fees. This family of four lives in a mud house that has two rooms. They use fire and charcoal for cooking and get their water from the lake nearby. For lighting they use solar lighting and kerosene lamps. The family’s net income is 3,000 KSH (30 EUR).
