Personal Bio: My name is Swaburah Nagayi. We are four children living with our a single mother. Where am the oldest daughter . Our father died when I was 7Years old. After the death of my father, 05 of us , were taken to paternal grandmother and the other two stayed with our mother. But we found difficult staying with our grandma as she was staying alone and very old; where she could not afford getting for us what to eat and the school and personal needs. So, then we were taken back to our mum.  My mother goes to the neighbors to dig in other people’s gardens for us so that we can get scholastic materials, home needs and school fees. However, when my mother fails to get jobs for digging from the neighbors, we don’t get money for needs and school fees. We work tirelessly before and  after school so that we can get what to eat . This makes us to wake up very very early in the morning to dig and also in evening after school, we have to dig to get some money and food as well. She lacks scholastic materials still. The mother can’t adequately provide to them. At home we eat one type of food i.e. Posho We overwork at home to get food.
