Aminata carries the weight of the world on her shoulders … and it's breaking her back.
She's been raising her 6-year-old granddaughter, Oumou, by herself since her husband passed away years ago. Decades of labor-intensive work have taken a toll on Aminata’s frail body.
In her Malian village, 67-year-old Aminata pounds a local mineral into a powder that she sells. It's used to make the external veneer of cooking pots. The long periods of sitting and pounding leave her in horrible pain.
Aminata's deepest desire is to care for her granddaughter, but she just can’t work as much as she used to. The two often go hungry, and when Oumou complains of a stomachache or headache, it breaks Aminata’s heart.
"Words can’t express how bad I feel. I can't help her out of this situation. I have no means to do that," Aminata says.

Rehmuli gets little time to rest. She and her husband are hardworking farmers. But they can't afford the skyrocketing cost of fertilizer, which is essential to a bountiful harvest.
Without this critical resource, they struggle to grow enough food to feed their family or earn an income from their farm in Indonesia.
