Zipporah lives with her grandmother and big brother in a two-room rented wood house with a dirt floor. The house has prepaid electrical lighting which is paid by her uncle, and tapped water which is boiled for drinking. The family has an outdoor kitchen and uses firewood for cooking. They have no bathing facility and share a communal pit latrine which is in poor condition.
Zipporah is an orphan. Her grandmother, who is ill, offered to raise her and her brother after the death of her mother who was a single parent. The family lives in extreme poverty and depends on Zipporah’s uncle who is a casual laborer struggling to make ends meet.
Zipporah’s big brother, Peter, is also in the Mama Beth program.
