Skymillan lives with her father’s cousin, his wife, and their son in a three-room plastered house that has a cemented floor and a corrugated roof. They have electricity for purchase and fetch water from a borehole that they boil for drinking. They have an outdoor kitchen and use firewood and sometimes charcoal or propane for cooking. The family has a good bathroom facility and a pit latrine.
Skymillan is the only child to her parents who separated after she was born. Her parents are both addicts and that, plus the constant conflicts between them, led Skymillan’s mother to attempt drowning her in a tank full of water when she was a baby. Luckily, she was rescued by her father’s cousin, who took her into his home. Her parents are not in contact with her. Skymillan’s guardians are casual laborers and they go out each day to search for work to provide for their family’s needs.
