Hima's story
Hima's dad abandoned her and her mother when she was only 2 months old. Her mother at the time was only 16 years of age.
They live with the maternal grandparents in a small home that is occupied by 8 family members; mostly young mothers (siblings) that have also been abandoned by their husband/fathers. To help make ends meet the grandfather works 100's of kilometers away in a brick kiln factory in harsh conditions for very little wage. When he can, he sends money home, which isn't often. Hima's mother works locally as a builder's labourer and when she can get work, earns $4 a day. The family is financially extremely poor and without support can not provide Hima with an education.
