F4105 ~ A typical Uno house

Uno (Bijagós). Houses are made of brick with thatched rooves. It's the job's women to gather the straw to cover the roof. This is not a safe roof, and sometimes the rains and the winds are so strong that blow away the roofs and families have to look for another shelter till they are able to repair the damages.
