Dawson lives with his mother and 4 siblings in a two-room, semiplastered, bungalow-style house which she is taking care of for a relative. The home has a 3-bulb solar panel for lighting with a charging port for the phone. The children share two beds. Water is available from a community tap for purchase or from a nearby spring, and is boiled for drinking. The family cooks outdoors with firewood and has an outdoor bathroom facility that is in good condition.
