Moses lives with his mother and three sisters in a three-bedroom mud house with a thatch roof. They have access to electricity for purchase but it often runs out before they can buy more. The only water source is the village dam, until the dry season; then, the women in the community must travel long distances to find other sources.
Moses’s family is Christian. His father suffers with mental illness and lives on the street; his extended family blames Moses’s mother and does not offer them assistance. Before Create Hope, Moses’s mother had to work farm to farm to offer labor in exchange for rice and maize so she could feed the family. Providing for her children was very challenging but they receive assistance with food now. Moses is the only child attending school and he walks about 5 miles to school every day.
