Ajok, Christine, 30, has a bright welcoming smile. She lives with her husband in a one-room brick house. They have worked hard and are able to hold small leases to work in the quarry. These leases mean that the rock in that part of the quarry belongs to them. This is very difficult work in the hot sun. But it is a way of making a small living.

Her family fled from the north eight years ago when the LRA attacked her village. She has four children. The three elder ones live with her parents in the north because they can receive free education in the village and she cannot afford to send them to school in Kampala.The youngest one is with her, on her lap as she is rolling beads.

Christine sends some of her bead money to her parents to support her children. The rest she uses for food.
