They are describing the birth registration for my child; to keep the child always in front of your eyes; and what kinds of food should be given to the child, the amount, and when.” Shamoli receives two messages per week, and her husband also receives the same messages on his mobile phone.

But it wasn’t enough to get by: The Golders weren’t able to afford nutritious food, their latrine was unhygienic, and their water was collected from a nearby pond – it wasn’t safe to drink. They washed their bodies in the same pond, and as a result, their skin would occasionally peel or develop rashes. “We were frequently caught with water-borne diseases, especially
