Daoda is about 6 years old in
this photo, taken in July 2008.His
father died in 2006, leaving his wife with Daoda and his newborn brother
Harouna who is going on 2.They are living
in their grandparent’s courtyard where 2 of Mom’s sisters are also living.The two sisters are in school.Daoda is of age to start school but because
of his size, they will probably wait until next year.
The family works together to
cultivate a field of millet (including the grandparents).There is no other work or source of
income.They manage to pay school fees
with what they can sell of their crop.
This family lives on the
outskirts of the town of Yako.Their
house is in decent condition, but the courtyard walls are crumbling.
