Comfort Essando is forty-four years old. She is married with five children; three are currently in school. She lives with her family at Cape Coast in the central region of Ghana. She is a food vendor and sells "banku" with fried fish. "Banku" is prepared from milled maize grains and it is taken with hot pepper or soup.
