MURANVYA VILLAGE, BURUNDI
This little boy is nestled tightly against his mother in the bright colored woven fabric typical of the Batwa people in Burundi, Africa. Only 2% of the country has electricity. It is now the poorest country in the world with people in the Batwa tribes earning less than ten cents per day. To have one very small meal a day is a luxury. Most have none. Starvation and malnutrition are sadly the norm for over 3/4 of the people. In the picture you can see the top of a green bag. For the next month the family will eat. They, and hundreds of others, came to the village of Muranvya where Javesca Feeds provided over each family over 25 pounds of rice and beans. The need is ongoing. Your support continues the story.
