At 75 years old, Grandma Yasinah lives completely alone in a small, fragile hut she built herself on a piece of borrowed land. The walls are made of thin plywood, the roof leaks when it rains, and there is no kitchen or bathroom. Her tiny 3×2.5 meter home is where she sleeps, cooks over a firewood stove, and prays for strength to face another day.
She once worked as a housemaid in the city, cleaning other people’s homes and raising their children. But when her health began to fail, she could no longer continue. With no savings and no one to rely on, she returned home empty-handed, hoping to find peace but instead struggling just to survive.
Every month, she receives a small aid of only $13, barely enough to last two weeks. When the money runs out, she collects fallen coconut leaves to make handmade brooms, selling them for $0.30 each. On better days, she gathers fallen seeds to make simple chips, which she sells for $0.10 per pack. Her frail body often trembles, and after walking only a few meters, she must stop to rest, gasping for breath.
She has never seen a doctor. She drinks rainwater to survive and often goes to bed hungry. Yet despite her pain and loneliness, she keeps fighting, shaping every broom and every chip with hope that someone will buy them.
