In a good year she grows enough sorghum to feed her family and still has enough to sell at market. But last year's harvest produced nothing, so this year she has sold all her livestock just to buy supplies. "We eat until the food runs out," she said, "After that we either have to cancel the meal or search for some leaves (traditionally eaten by her tribe - the Kunama). There used to be leaves, but now even those have gone, we are in big trouble."

Richest Countries in the World
According to UNICEF, 30,000 children die each day due to poverty. And they “die quietly in some of the poorest villages on earth, far removed from the scrutiny and the conscience of the world. That is about 210,000 children each week, or just under 11 million children under five years of age, each year.
Today, across the world
1.3 billion people live on less than one dollar a day
3 billion live on under two dollars a day
1.3 billion have no access to clean water
3 billion have no access to sanitation
2 billion have no access to electricity
