A disabled woman building her own house
21 February 2012. Abu Shouk: Kaltoum Yakoub Issa, 19 years old, makes bricks for her new house in Abu Shouk camp for internally displaced people (IDP), in North Darfur.
Kaltoum, originally from Jebel Seet (North Darfur), lost her left hand and part of the other was seriously bounded when her village was attacked and her house burnt ten years ago.
It was when her family fled to Abu Shouk and was helped by International Rescue Committee (IRC) to get an artificial hand.
However, during the last years, her parents moved away and she is now alone with one sister in the IDP camp, and struggling with her already useless prosthesis to build her own house.
