Sandra lives with her mother in the village of Bugoi in rural northeastern Uganda. Her father passed away. She has four brothers and five sisters, but only seven children live at home—they are a household of eight. Sandra is the fourth born. Sandra’s family supports themselves by “digging”—they grow crops to eat and to sell when they can. Her mother also has a small business selling bread. However, they struggle to meet all of their needs, especially paying medical bills for the children, who are often sickly. Sandra helps her family at home by digging, fetching water, and selling bread for her mother. During holidays between school terms, she sometimes also works in other people’s gardens to earn some money for the family.
