Isolation from school, friends and town

Closely tied to transport, many respondents describe simply living too far from the places and people that matter to them — school, friends, family — often worsened by hills or rural roads with no pavement. 

• “Have to wake up really early since I’m so far away from school” 

• “Most of my friends live far away” 

• “I can’t get barely anywhere because I live in a tiny village” 

• “There’s no friends where i live and it’s about a 10 minute journey everyday.” 

• “Getting to town and no nearby friends.” 

• “having to walk up a hill every time I come back home”
