Village life

Here is a typical looking village. They are mud huts with a straw type of roof. Some of the huts had a corrugated metal roof. The roofs are the most expensive part of the house so often times they will use whatever material they have on hand.
The villages have a common water source where everyone uses. They fill buckets to take back to their homes. Sometimes it is quite a long distance away. There are some villages that have a state approved water source which allows them to charge for water as a source of income.

This is Rebecca. She is one of the widows in the COTN widows program. She is the one Pegi and I visited her home. She loves to dance and sing praises to God. She knows everything she owns, which isn't a whole lot, is directly due to the grace of God. If only we could all be that grateful.
