In southern Madagascar, where the land is dry and life is often arduous, a resilient woman named Francine lives with her husband, who has a disability, and their four energetic boys. As a farmer, Francine grows sweet potatoes, corn, and pumpkin for sale – and she supplements her income by selling water, a precious commodity in this arid region.
