**Herbert is the 3rd born living with her Aunt, cousins and siblings in two grass thatched mud houses. One single mud house for the Aunt and the other for the children. Herbert’s father passed away and the mother’s whereabouts are unknown.**
**The Aunt is a peasant farmer who grows crops such as maize, beans, sorghum and cassava (root tuber) in their home garden. They can for example harvest one bag of Cassava weighing 100kgs and sell 50kgs at UGX.20000 ($5.71) and leave the other 50kgs for home consumption, and also harvest two bags of corn (maize), each bag weighing 100kgs out of the entire season, sell one bag at UGX.50000 ($14.29) and leave the other bag for home consumption.**
**The money Herbert’s Aunt earns from selling some of their yields is used to pay for their basic needs at home and also to send the children to school, but it’s not enough hence needing help with her nephew’s education.**
