(Photo: Rodrigo Ordonez/CARE)..Sahara Mahama has seven sons and a daughter. She lost four other children; one of them was only 14 days old.

"When I was a kid, we used to have three meals: in the morning, at noon, and in the evening.? However, one meal a day has now become the norm. "It's never guaranteed, but we try." .Sahara participates in CARE's cash-for-work project. With the money she receives, she buys cereal and gives her children two meals per day.

Delou's last crop was 30kg, which only provided food for about two days.<br />
