Everyone hopes for a better life, and it was for that reason that 46-year-old Clarene France ran away four years ago from her abusive partner at Mabaruma, North West District.
In January this year she moved to the Parika Sea Dam at a house her eldest son, 30, was renting. She has found peace, even though the living condition in the area is challenging.
There is no electricity and potable water, the road is almost impassable and there is flooding during the spring tide.
