**Lillian is the 5th born in her family living with her grandmother in a one bedroom/one living room house.**
**Lillian’s grandmother is a peasant farmer growing crops such as maize, beans, sweet potatoes and cassava from their own garden. The crops are for both home consumption and to sell in. They can for example harvest three bags of maize/corn for the entire season each bag weighing 50kgs and sell two bags each at $14.29 leaving one for home consumption. The money Lillian’s grandmother earns from selling some of their yields is used to pay for their basic needs at home such as buying kerosene for their table lamp, soap for laundry, paying for their medical bills, buying scholastic materials and paying for the children’s school tuition but it’s not enough hence needing help with her grandchild’s education.**
