Backstory
James lives with his family of nine, of which six children are in school. The older family members tend to the duties of their farm and apiary. Two of the older children work harvesting the sugar cane. With future savings his goals are to improve his home and plant more fruit trees to give the family a balanced diet. It is important that his children get immunizations and the family receives medical check ups through the VHT (Valley Health Team). One day he would like to buy a boda boda (motor bike). He sums up life in this rural area, “The area has good soils for growing crops but area has no electricity, schools or hospitals”.
