The diarrhoea may be because something has gone wrong with the water pump so there is no clean drinking water. The child becomes very unwell because they were already malnourished as the crop this year was poor so there is less food available. The poor crop means there is no money available to buy the spare part that is needed so mending the pump is taking a long time as the community are having to raise funds. Drought has reduced their agricultural output over the last three years. When they have the funds, they need to send a community member to get the spare parts from the town as there is no reliable delivery service and they fear the spare parts will be stolen before they reach the village. Travel is not easy as the roads are still dangerous following recent conflict. The child’s mother seeks advice of the child’s grandmother and aunt who advise her to take the child to the local clinic. The grandmother seeks the permission of the male head-of-household to do this as the mother cannot travel alone and does not have resources to pay for the travel herself. The male head-of-household gives permission and asks his son, who is working in the city, to send him money via his mobile phone to pay for transport. The local shop has a solar panel where he can charge up his mobile phone. His son had to move to the city because of lack of work locally.
