Khulungira is a village of about 150 families in central Malawi, near
the border with Mozambique, 27 km from the nearest paved road and 50
km from the nearest town.
There is no electricity and no running water. No one here owns a car
or a motorcycle. Few parents can afford to send their children to
secondary school. The people of Khulungira grow their own food, cut
their own firewood and build their own houses. Here in the late
evening, Rosaria Ledison pounds maize while Vainesi Banda sifts maize
