A mother's worry for her baby

Yasi Shaibou brought her 8 month old baby Saa to the health centre, because he was severely malnourished. Saa was suffering from diarrhea and was weak. Yasi is glad to receive the food supplement for her baby. About this year’s crops, she says that last year it took her family 10 days to harvest all of the millet that they had grown. But in contrast, this year the collection process took them only one day. Photo by Ann Birch
