Sana is part of a family of four children in an unpredictable living situation. She lives with his four siblings in a miserable condition in the east of Kabul.
Her father died at a very young age. Shortly after, her mother remarried her uncle. However, this glimmer of hope suddenly vanished due to her stepfather marrying someone else, thus leaving Sana and her siblings without a breadwinner. Sana’s mother is a domestic worker who earns meager wages from cleaning, cooking, and washing in people’s homes. HBT identified Sana on the streets of Kabul begging for money. HBT then went to Sana’s house and inspected their fragile living condition. Similarly, we also spoke to the neighbors to corroborate their living conditions to gain an insightful understanding of their predicament.
