Hi i live in a informal settlement , and I struggle with my health because theirs not  clean toilets. Every time i go to the toilet its always dirty , so try to clean it. The people who also live here are getting sick from the viruses  from the toilet. My mother is trying  to get a job so that I could stay in  school. My dad's the only one in my family that has a job , some times the teachers come to school sick and drunk. At our school, the teachers are sick a lot they never show up when we have to get our test paper that we need to learn for, so on the day we have to do our test, the class stays back a year because we failed our test's. My shack is kinder stable but when it rains there's a few  rain drops falling out of the roof every five seconds. Some of my old friend's left the school because they were far away from school so now he doesn't go to school anymore. 

We only have about ten text books in the class. We have to share ten text books with 50 children my class. People die because they go to the hospital and theirs only one doctor and 3000 people are waiting in the line. Our houses are very small my mother one day and forward she started taking drugs so she became a  alcoholic so after that she wasted all her money on that drugs. So I had to get kicked from school and when I got home there was no food my dad passed when he was 85 years he died from  heart attack my mother did nothing not even help him and buy him medicine. I told my mom to stop using drugs and she listened once in her life. After a while I got sick and my mother helped me get better. The food we eat is chicken heads and chicken legs I say to my mother it's disgusting but I have to eat for the rest of my Life. 
When I read my books I have to read under the light outside on the streets. It's very dirty on the streets, there's packets oil chickens set free and there's no road to drive on. The whole area there is polluted. If it's raining and the mats are on the floor the rain drops are falling down on the mats so when I step on the mat you can feel your foot is going down the soggy mat. When I eat I have to put it on a flammable object. There's lots of fires around the area because the leave the gas pan on then the house catches a light then they have to build there shack again plus the neighbors complain because there shack is right next to the shack that has bean burnt. About other toilets  I've seen at a other informal settlement the toilets have no doors there's no privacy for you and it's very embarrassing.  When I was at school it takes a person like 3 hours to get there so I leave like about 4 p.m and school starts 8:00 I travel on a bicycle to school my friends then walked to school and back home.
