My daily life living in an informal settlement.

My daily life living in an informational settlement. I wake up every morning cold and sometimes soaking wet, when it rains. Today I went to school on an extremely empty hungry stomach. I usually don’t go to school because when it rains my house gets flooded. I have to walk 6km to get to school and I wake up at 4am every morning. There was no food for me to eat this morning.  I really would like a proper house with security, privacy like bathroom doors, no litter and dustbins, running water and a bath or shower. My house is literally falling to pieces. I live with my mom ,dad ,5 brothers , 3 sisters. At school this morning our class is packed with children like it  usually is , we also have a lack of stationary. We have no desks at school so we have to sit on the bunched up and squished like a huge sack of potatoes.I really struggle living like this because our house is squished and there is hardly any space. We have to share three beds between the 9 of us children
