ELIGIBILITY SCREENING
female, cisgender, trans, femme - you get the idea
≥ 3 days per week on average for 6 months or longer without a break of 14 consecutive days or longer during that period.
≔ ∴ ≓ ∶ ⋑ ≛ ⋰ ≜ ⨳ ≜ ⋱ ≛ ⋐ ∶ ≒ ∴ ≕
A middle- or high-income setting means you live in a household where basic needs are reliably met, and where you or your household has some disposable income. This includes suburban areas, residential complexes, gated communities, town houses, or any area where most residents are formally employed or financially stable.
≔ ∴ ≓ ∶ ⋑ ≛ ⋰ ≜ ⨳ ≜ ⋱ ≛ ⋐ ∶ ≒ ∴ ≕
In your neighbourhood:
- Most people have stable housing and can meet basic needs like food and school fees without constant crisis.
- The area is mostly populated by people with steady jobs or small businesses rather than day labourers or subsistence farmers.
- There is consistent service delivery: reliable electricity, clean running water, and regular waste collection.
- The roads are paved with access to public transport.
- Most people live in permanent structures (brick/stone) with legal access to utilities.
