View of the kitchen where Eka lives. Most windows are of plastic instead of glass. There is no electricity due to an unpaid bill and�either water nor toilet inside the apartment; virtually impossible living conditions for an infant. Nobody in the family works. Only Eka� mother Eteri, who lost her eye-sight 6 years ago, receives a small pension of 15 USD a month. All the clothes the three people wear are donations from other family members. Eka shares one pair of shoes with her mother, for �oing out.�Eka� husband has a separate one-room apartment nearby.
