Abdul Basit (who goes by Basit) lives with his parents, two younger brothers, his grandmother and uncle in a four-bedroom house built with mud and roofed with thatch. They have no latrine. They have electricity but no access to potable water. They fetch water from a village dam until it dries up and then the village women must travel long distances to find more.
Basit’s family is Christian. His father is a small-hold farmer who cultivates maize to feed the family. Though it is hard to keep food on the table, through the support of Create hope the family now has three meals a day instead of one. On some days they only have one meal a day. His mother is a housewife. It is so difficult to provide the basic needs of the children, without Create Hope, Basit’s ability to attend school would have suffered.
