Jennah lives with her mother and three older siblings in a rented two-room house with no electricity. For lighting, the family uses candles. Jennah shares a bed with one of her sisters. The home does not have a kitchen, so the family cooks in an open space outdoors with firewood. They share a toilet facility with the owner of the house. Water is fetched from a nearby tap which they have to pay for. The children have a piglet at home that they are raising.
