Back then 270,000/= would have been more than most of the people I knew in Kampala made. Has the cost of living in Gulu raised so much that this amount of money cannot even provide a home for the children to sleep in? Or is there something that I am missing.

You know, I was working up an example with the texts that had been prepared by volunteers and didn't take the time to really look at the survey information for this person. No description of Joyce herself had been prepared (only the children) so I lifted that description from a loan application several months old. LiA production activities may have had a lot to do with her total income at that time. The survey indicates less than shs100,000 in household income during the month of July, and HIV is active in the house.
