Nicknamed Kafoudje, little Fatou Yaka is a healthy and joyful young girl. She can now walk by herself and speak but is still too young to attend kindergarten. She is restless child who likes to play with other children. She lives with her parents and siblings in a family house made of clay. There is no electric supply in this remote village. Agriculture is the main occupation of the inhabitants. Her father is a farmer. During the rainy season, he grows millet, maize and rice. As for the mother, she stays home and performs the house chores. The irregular annual income of the family is US $890.00 and is too low to cover the family needs. An extra support from a sponsor can certainly help this child get a bright future.
