Shoes like these, when new, cost about 700cfa which is almost $1.50 US.Yet, this Baka woman doesn't have the money for getting new ones. Sometimes she works, but that money is quickly eaten up as she buys a small amount of rice or peanuts, dried fish, a bouillon cube and a pack of cookies for her kids. Every once in a while they will buy about 20 cents worth of kerosene so they can use their lamp. Anything left over gets spent on village wine.There are others, who have no shoes at all.
