Education: In other countries it is a luxury to have an education (and we don't think about it).

GENERAL LIFE

  • If people do work, they are probably tenant farmers or landless day workers. They reap few benefits from the crops they work on.

FOOD, WATER, AND RESOURCES

  • Finding food, water and shelter takes up most of the day.
  • Most mothers have to walk 5-10 miles to get clean water and takes several more hours to work in the field and take care of the children.
  • Most of the time there's hunger.

MORE RESOURCES

  • Healthcare is not equipped, so it is usual for two to three children to die before they turn 5 years old.
  • Since many of the families have no shelter, cold weather, rain, or strong winds could become life-threatening.
