Interesting stuff about where Sue lives:

Water: Mukubela is supplied by a borehole – a hand-operated pump brings water from deep below ground. The water is sweet and clean – it is not necessary to purify or boil it before drinking.

Electricity: None. Solar power is very expensive and unfortunately makes a building a target for thieves.

Buildings: Houses are built from locally baked mud bricks with a grass roof. The top of the range roof is made from corrugated sheets which are VERY noisy in the rains!

Food: Main foods are nshima and rice rather than bread. As it is needed, maize is taken to the local grinding mill to be ground into mealie-meal. This is made into a dough called nshima

Sewage: There is no mains sewage, instead, Sue has a "long drop" toilet which is very deep and well ventilated. The foundations of the floor slab have be protected to avoid it sinking in the heavy rains!

Shopping: Everything has to be paid for in cash – even petrol. This means carrying round large quantities of notes which have to be fetched from the bank (an hour away in Lusaka). Queuing at the bank is like a trip to the till at IKEA, and there are no hole-in-the-wall cash machines .
