Comfort lives with her parents and brother in a two-bedroom mud house roofed with sheet material through the support of Create Hope. There is access to electricity in the community but Comfort’s family cannot afford it. They have no access to potable water. Water is fetched from a local dam until it dries up, then the village women and girls must travel long distances to find other sources.
Comfort is from a Christian family. Her father is a local security guard who earns less than $10 a month. Her mother is a housewife. Her parents find it difficult to provide food and sometimes the family goes for days without. They also struggle to buy clothes and pay for school fees for their children. Joining Create Hope has enabled Comfort to stay in school and have more consistent food.
