Chapter 2<br />

The state of<br />

rural poverty today<br />

Casamance Province, Senegal: Pascaline Bampoky<br />

puts a bag of water in her freezer. Each year, she<br />

and her husband grow just enough rice, millet or<br />

cassava to feed their family. But because they<br />

also own a fridge, Pascaline runs a small ice and<br />

ice-cream business that helps pay for school fees<br />

and household expenses.
