Queensley lives with her grandmother and brother in a one-bedroom mud house roofed with sheetmetal. The community has electricity but no potable water. They must walk long distances to find water sources. Access to health care in the community is very poor; they have a hospital but no medication. There is one primary and middle school with only two teachers for over 200 students.
