Nashiru lives with his aunt, uncle and five cousins. He lost his father and mother when he was seven years old, and his uncle took him in. They live in a house built with mud and roofed with thatch. They have access to electricity but no access to a latrine. The only water source is the village dam, until the dry season; then, the women in the community must travel long distances to find other sources.
Nashiru’s uncle is a small-hold farmer who cultivates groundnuts, maize and rice, but he barely harvests enough food to take care of the family. Nashiru’s aunt is a housewife who sometimes sells shea butter to help with the household income but it is sporadic and minimal. Nashiru’s aunt and uncle find it difficult to provide the basic necessities for all of the children. Thanks to Create Hope, the family now receives food packages and Nashiro no longer has to go to school with an empty stomach.
Plus bonus group fundraising ideas!
