"Living on a Dollar a Day: The Lives and Faces of the World's Poor"

Kandi, 25, feeds her son Baba, 4, who suffers from malaria. Between her life of work and her son’s need for care, she has little time for herself, but nothing is more clear here than a mother’s love. "No government or NGO's help me. I have to do everything myself. If I could get someone to help me then maybe my life could change," she said. She had come from farmland in the north looking for a better life in the city of Accra, Ghana to find herself exploited and working as a porter carrying heavy loads of fruits and vegetables on her head for sometimes a dollar a day.
