This is a
Gogo (Grandmother) from rural KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa. She is taking care
of six grandchildren while their parents try to earn a living. Poverty is a big
problem in the area. The locals have to make do with what they have in their
natural surroundings. This house is built
from rocks, tree branches, poles and mud. The roof is a Tin sheet roof. For
water proofing they use cow dung, it kind of works if it’s not raining very
hard. You can see there is rain damage on the left hand side that they covered
with a plastic sheet. This will be repaired with cow dung and rocks again at a
later stage.
Life is a
challenge in rural areas.
