5.1.2.1 Levels of vulnerability in Golo Mandhro In Golo Mandhro 46 of the approx. 175 households were interviewed during the field work (about 26%). Figure 5.12 presents the vulnerability score of each interviewed household. Households with regular income Source: data recorded by ZELF team, Freie Universität Berlin, February – March 2011 Fig. 5.12: VCI values for surveyed households in Golo Mandhro Source: data recorded by ZELF team, Freie Universität Berlin, February – March 2011 Fig. 5.13: VCI values in terms of capacities and vulnerabilities for Golo Mandhro 30 Household of Shopkeeper VCI score: 64 Household of Maryam M. (see Box 5) VCI score: 92 Most vulnerable households with VCI scores above 80 points
The VCI presents an interval of more than 40 VCI values, starting at 40 and ending at 92 for the most vulnerable household (cf. Box 5). Eighty-seven percent of interviewed households have a VCI score above 50 indicating persistently high degrees of vulnerability. Those with regular incomes as teachers or government employees are among the more secure households in the village, whereas the most vulnerable rely on sharecropping without access to own land and livestock as an important distinguishing marker in the degree of vulnerability. Incidentally, those households with larger numbers of large livestock are those showing the greatest capacity in the sample. Box 5: The most vulnerable household in Golo Mandhro Source: photograph © Narges Lankarani, February 16, 2011 Maryam Mandhro Maryam Mandhro is a 56-years old widow. She represents the most vulnerable household in Golo Mandhro with a VCI value of 92 indicating an almost complete lack of capacities. Maryam lives together with her mother who is 74 years old, her unmarried sister (31) and her unmarried brother (42), named Mohammed Issa. None of them has ever visited a school. They are all unemployed. They own no land, no livestock and have no income source. They own a very 31 little clay cottage (approx. 13m²) where they live together. There is no electricity and their neighbour supports them with drinking water. Maryam has an eye disease but they have no money to supply healthcare. Household members never leave Golo Mandhro. There is no support from NGOs or governmental institutions. The roof of their house is damaged. They can only survive because of support (especially food) from some neighbours.
