Conducting a Household Survey

For the past six weeks I've been working with a team of people from a local NGO called the Turn Table Trust to survey 100 households in three communities around Pholela. Two of those communities were a part of the original focus area for the clinic and the third lies some 45km from the health center.

Visiting 100 different households to gather demographic, health, and agricultural information has been an amazing and eye opening experience. Here are a few photos from the process...
