This video segment from Nature/National Geographic presents the life of Flora Salonik. Flora, a woman from the busy city of Arusha, moves with her husband, Loshero, to his home in Kijungu, a village in one of Tanzania's most remote areas. Flora has a college education, speaks four languages and, before she married Loshero, owned her own business. Flora left her family as well as the comforts and modern conveniences of the city. Now she lives in a world where there is no electricity and it is a forty minute walk just to get water. Learn more about Flora's existence in this three-part series including, "A Hard and Lonely Life" and “A Decision is Made.”
