Binta is a sociable and active little girl who lives with her parents in a remote village. Her father is a local mason whose annual income does not exceed US $1200.00. The income is not sufficient to make both ends meet. As for her mother, she is a housewife who stays at home to prepare the daily meals that are often based on rice. They live in a family house where they have neither access to running water nor electricity supply. Little Binta has not yet started her school career, but she is put in the local Koranic school where she is regular and is discovering the joy of learning. She spends her free moments playing with her little friends, running the small errands or being by her mother’s side. Binta does need support in order to live in better conditions.
