Mary Andrew is living with her parents, cousins and other close relatives in a village located in the rural part of the country. She likes being around her mother to run small errands for her. Her grand mum is a secondary caregiver when the mother is away. Their water source in the village is mainly from streams and open wells that sometimes dried up during the dry season. Mary sleeps with her mother on a locally made bed stuffed with dry grass and with poor beddings. Her parents depend on grow seasonal crops that provides income for their basic needs. Their annual income is below US$398 and only helps with a single meal a day. Mary has not started attending formal school due to her age.
