1. At the Mae Tao Clinic this 5-month old child receives free medical care for her burns. The child pulled a pot of hot water on herself as she was being watched
by her 11-year old sister while her parents farmed. Here, her father, ZawWin, and another child anxiously hope for her recovery.

2. Portraits of people living on a dollar a day
More than a billion people around the world subsist on a dollar a
day, or less. The reasons differ but the day-to-day hardship of their
lives are very similar. A book by Thomas A Nazario, founder of the
International Organisation documents the circumstances of those
living in extreme poverty across the globe, accompanied by
photographs from Pulitzer prizewinner Renée C Byer.
5. Fati, eight, works with other children searching through hazardous waste on an waste dump for electronic devices in Accra, Ghana. Balancing a bucket on her
head containing the metal she has found, tears stream down her face as the result of the pain from malaria.
9. Vishal Singh, six, cares for a baby
girl while her mother is away, in
the Kusum Pahari slum in south
Delhi, India. Vishal is lucky in one
sense: when he is not working he
is able to attend a school for
slum children.
10. Hunupa Begum, 13, who has been blind for the past 10 years, lives in New Delhi, India. Begging is her family's only income – her mother and brother are too
ill to work and her father is dead.
11. The hard-worked hands of Jacaba Coaquira, 80, holding the green beans she grew on her land. This year the production of her land was affected by lack of
rain and early cold weather that froze the crops before they finished growing.
Santiago de Okola, Bolivia.
12. Alvaro Kalancha Quispe, nine, releases alpacas and llamas to graze before school, and rounds them up in the evening. He lives in the Akamani mountain range
of Bolivia, 13,000ft above sea level, where the homes have no insulation, no electricity, and no beds.
13. Lidia Potcovirova can’t afford to send her daughter, Anastasia, 4, to school so she often accompanies her mother to work in the fields.
Fintinita, Moldova.
15. Five brothers, ranging in age from 5 to 12, sleep together on the floor at At the Krousa Thmey Center, a temporary orphanage. The shelter serves as a safe
house for children who have been abandoned and found wandering the streets. Space is limited, so the children cannot stay for long, but they are offered
temporary refuge from the influences of the city streets. Phnom Penh, Cambodia.
16. Hora Florin, 28, grew up in a Romanian orphanage, and now lives underground in a sewer in Bucharest where the heating vents keep him warm at night.
17. The Kayayo are girls in Ghana who travel to cities to work as market porters. They live communally, often near or on top of the city dump. Sharifa Monaro,
(centre), 23, works long hours for as little as 50 cents a day.
18. Three boys play on the bed their entire family shares. From the left are Ajit Kumar, 5, Dilip Kumar, 9, and Kuldeep Kumar, 10. The bed occupies their entire
living space. Their home is located on a garbage dump. Kusum Pahari slum, South Delhi, India.
19. Ninankor Gmafu, six, is typical of children all over the world who work to support their families. Here he herds cattle in the rain in the Volta region of Ghana.
He dreams of going to school, but that is very unlikely.
20. Two small boys are dwarfed in the African bush as they try to herd cattle. They herd the cows from sunrise to sunset with no hope of ever attending school.

23. 'Living On A Dollar A Day' wins IPA's best documentary book for 2014
One in six people in the world live at or below the poverty threshold of one dollar a
day. At a time of great social and economic disruption in the world, people on the
brink of survival can be easily pushed over the edge, or just as easily pulled back to
safety. The people who generously shared their stories in Living On A Dollar A
Day inspire us to change lives for the better.
Living On A Dollar A Day, (Text by Thomas A. Nazario, Photographs by Renée C.
Byer and Foreword by the 14th Dalai Lama), is a passionate call to action, presenting
348 pages filled with over 200 color photographs, profiles, explanatory charts and
graphics that deliver an unprecedented and thought-provoking examination of global
poverty, and how it impacts the poor and the rest of the world community. Most
striking, the book offers innovative ways to transform lives through individual action
large or small. Grassroots organizations are profiled as potential models and at the
end of each chapter A Way To Helplists nonprofit organizations that focus on problems
such as child labor and lack of access to healthcare, among other issues. We are
shown how change is possible.
