Along a rural road can be found this thatched roof cottage. The roof is made of straw and appears to be in place for a long time. The walls are made from corrugated iron which appear to be reused from another project.
It is located next to a garden which would supply the food for the family. As with other buildings in this area, it has a simple utilitarian structure. The area is very hilly so building materials are sourced locally.
