Rice, dahl, green chili and onion is the diet. They can't grow food around their huts as they are totally landless. They rent the huts, but the people are kept labor for the rich landlord. The women get up early in the morning. They eat soaked rice with chili and onion.
Men eat first, then children, and then women if there's anything left.
The women cook in the afternoon. Some of the children may go to school, but during harvest time they remain in the field. Separating rice from the stalk, the drying and other activities are done by women. The children watch the chickens. But when they meet with me, they see that no, The Hunger Project will not provide money, and will provide only for skills, provide only for empowerment and training, to increase their strength.
