The little girl with her belong to her late elder sister whom died and left that little girl with her, she is now the custodian of this little girl together with her three siblings. The tent you see behind is their shelter, their feeding depend on the firewood Aisha fetches from the nearby bush and if she is a able to find a buyer.

Not to long ago she buried her immediate younger brother whom on a normal day would have survived the common disease that lead to the early terminal of his life. This is only one sided story of this brave 12 years old girl who despite all old to make sure her siblings survived in that travel and volatile environment where human life has become a sheld and one out of thousand in North Eastern Nigeria.”
