Nearly 70% of Madagascar's population was living below the poverty line with the country coming in at 143 out of the poorest 177 countries in the world. Poverty rises to 85% in rural areas, which is home to 80% of the country's 20 million population. Most families rely on subsistence farming from a plot barely larger than 1.3 hectares and such farm land is becomingly increasingly stretched as the population rises.
A smallish food bank in St John the Baptist (Anglican Church, Markyate, Hertfordshire). Many of you will be aware of the so-called "cost of living crisis" in the UK. This is Orwellian Newspeak. The truth is that we have a lot of poverty in Britain. My village, Markyate, is in general a prosperous place. I don't think that anybody goes hungry here. But it is also clear that more and more people feel the squeeze, even in this village, and that some are desperate to make ends meet. They may not go hungry, but they might lose their home. I am hearing that a food bank was opened in one of the schools of a neighbouring village and that among its customers are teachers from this school. Britain is in this respect returning to Dickensian times and we do need a new Friedrich Engels writing a new study of "the situation of the working class in England". Fuji X-E2.

Poverty, this is the series for this week. 7 photos to embarrass us. 7 poingnant photos, with seven poingnant titles. There is a series that seeks no controversy, only the reality of the street in the 21th century. If you are looking for something fun or beautiful, better than this week go to another thread, if you want a pictures of sad life on our streets are welcome here. Thank you in advance for all visits and comments.
Have a nice Sunday my friends!
After this series I will do a little break on Flickr, see you soon! Thanks for your great support! =O)
Some places in the world there is no food and other there is plenty and not enough people to eat it.
Hope you have a good weekend and spare a thought for those who won't be.

A child in "Sange Siah" neighborhood, Shiraz, Iran, March 2002
I have visited many houses on that neighborhood, and in all of them the common issues were extreme poverty and minimum standards of life.
I have put this picture here to remember what I promised myself on that time;
To rememeber a child who was playing with a headless doll,
To remember the old disable(paralysis) woman living in a damp,shrinked room as small as a bathroom with no carpet,
To rememeber the young woman with two children and the income of 6000 tomans for two months!
Manchester, Ohio was founded in 1790 by Nathaniel Massie, an explorer and entrepreneur. This village lies near the islands that are in the middle of the Ohio River that were used as a safe retreat from Indian attacks. Nowdays this rural Adams County village suffers from having 23.3% of its population below the poverty line. The recent demolition of two generator stations led to a massive property tax and employment base. Most of the Main Street is lined with closed businesses.
Amongst chores beyond his years and poverty so unfairly struck upon him this boy is still thankful for what little he possesses.
I don't like taking pictures of homeless folk.. in my defense, I took this blindly.. I saw a bunch of "chickens" adjusted the focus, lowered the camera and snapped it while I was walking.. I intended to aim more left. it wasn't until later I saw what I caught. I'm posting it because of the happenstance and because of that little american flag fluttering in the background.
Children singing a song inside their ramshackle primary school in a poor village on an island in Lake Victoria.
This is rural life in a depressed area in urban Manila. No deadlines, no rush hours, nothing to do, no livelihood & sadly no food to eat.
(As I was walking through a maze of slum dwellings, I chanced upon these two ladies grooming. I shot this during a photo shoot with our camera club youth group at Tondo, Manila)
