Casper Narrative

The family of three lives in a makeshift one-room home that was originally meant for one person. They use candles for light which poses a fire risk. The home is just 3 by 4 meters and has low ceilings, poor ventilation, and is surrounded by garbage. There are many health and safety hazards, including a river the children play in that could result in drowning. The family has inadequate hygiene practices like collecting garbage 5 meters away and excreting near the home, posing health threats from their unhealthy lifestyle.

The house of family X was demolished recently because the land that is the standpoint of their house is a real

property of the government, and until now they are still there but different from the usual, because now, they just occupied a small part of that land. Their house today is just a makeshift with only one room occupied by three persons. In reality, this room is only for one person, but because of poverty and inadequate resources they do not have any choice but to live there. The light that they are using is only a candle and it is not adequate because it can cause a fire if left unattended. As we estimated the size of their house, the width is 3meters and the length is 4meters, and you can t stand there if you are 4-5ft. and above, because the roof is too low. The ventilation in their house is not adequate because it is too small and patchy, and the surroundings of their house have much garbage, so you cannot snuffle a fresh air. There are so many hazards in their house, one of this is the river at the back of their house, because the head of the family or their father mentioned that his children is playing on the river so therefore, the children are at risk of getting drowned. They don t have drainage, they are collecting their garbage on a plastic and place it in the trashcan 5meters away from their house to be collected by the garbage collectors every Tuesday and Friday, and they are just excreting in his mother in law near their house. Problem Inadequate hygienic practices Nature- it is health threat because unhealthy lifestyle can greatly affect the health of the family. Modifiability *it is partially modifiable because they can Preventive potential *this is preventive but the only thing that the family needed is to understand the bad effects of unhealthy lifestyle. Salience *they do not care on this problem; the most important for them is their food.
