The former French colony of Niger is one of the poorest countries in the world. Life expectancy is just 44 and infant mortality, according to the World Health Organizaton, is the second highest in the world; one in five children die before they reach five years old. Niger also suffers from a poor education system, poor access to contraception and an extremely high rate of teenage pregnancy. It really is a fight for survival, but there are signs that is beginning to change. Centers have been developed to help advise people on nutrition. But what impact will they have? We find out by following a young woman and her baby girl as they endure the daily struggle to find enough to eat.
