This is our daily life.

In the evening, we go to the garbage dumpsters to collect whatever we can.

We then sell what you see there: cans, plastic bottles, zebu bones, charcoal ... whatever we find. 

 There are few buyers at the moment and it is very difficult.

Eating well here does not exist.

With 1000 Ariary, we drink coffee in the morning and feed our son.

My husband and I only eat rice in the evening with plenty of water.

We keep the rest so we can send our son to school.

we've been living here for a very long time.

We had to come here because we could no longer pay our rent.

Due to the political crisis of 2002, the company laid off its employees.

I have skills, but my job is to collect garbage and sell it.

I am not angry but very sad because we are all human beings.

Yet there are some who are above and others who are below.

Those above never consider those below.

Right now there are a lot of people going through the garbage because life is very difficult.

We would like to have a real job in order to be able to live normally, but there is none.

We would like there to be more companies so that there is work for us. 

There are more and more slums, beggars, people who cannot put aside in case they are sick.

There are parents who send their children to play.

Besides this, access to drinking water and electricity is still problematic for many households.

We can only be sorry and upset by this situation, 

I am not one of the well-to-do classes and I understand the situation very well. This is why in my current position as a municipal councilor, I try to fight for more social justice, so that the municipality allocates more budget to reduce this misery and that it feels a little in the Tananariviens homes. . The state gives way too much money to invest in infrastructure that is not a priority. For example, in Antananarivo, we used two billion ariary for the creation of a botanical garden in the city center, whereas this sum is the equivalent of the operating budget of an entire region.
