The classes are large and hold various grade levels. Very few, if any schools in the rural areas have electricity or running water. Homes are constructed of mud, stone, sticks, straw, or cement block and their roofs are made of tin or straw. The children are required to help out in many tasks. Boys help with the cattle and those similar chores, while the girls wash clothes, get water, and take care of the babies.
Girls wear skirts or dresses and boys wear shorts.
The Swaziland people eat mostly corn, but they may also eat crocodile, warthog, worms, or ostrich.
