00:01:08
filming
00:01:10
my name is chris and i grew up just
00:01:12
outside of new york city
00:01:17
this is zach
00:01:18
and he's a close friend of mine from
00:01:20
seattle
00:01:20
[Music]
00:01:23
we've grown up with very similar lives
00:01:28
these are the houses we were born in
00:01:31
our families
00:01:33
the awkward middle school phase
00:01:36
the sports we played
00:01:40
and these are the things we did for fun
00:01:44
i met zach during my first year at
00:01:46
college and we quickly became close
00:01:48
friends
00:01:50
our lives are fast-paced and these are
00:01:53
the things that we're used to seeing
00:01:54
every day
00:02:04
[Music]
00:02:19
this is chino
00:02:20
he is 12 years old and lives in a rural
00:02:22
village in guatemala
00:02:26
he lives in extreme poverty
00:02:28
on less than one dollar a day
00:02:32
how can we begin to understand what his
00:02:34
life is like about what it means to live
00:02:37
every day with no clean water little
00:02:39
food and poor shelter
00:02:45
and just like chino there are over 1.1
00:02:48
billion people around the world that
00:02:50
survive on one dollar a day
00:02:55
zach and i study international
00:02:56
development in school but there are some
00:02:58
things that a textbook just can't answer
00:03:01
so we're creating a plan to spend our
00:03:03
summer living on only one dollar a day
00:03:05
in a rural guatemalan village
00:03:07
in chino's village
00:03:12
okay bye mom i love you
00:03:16
[Music]
00:03:18
why do it
00:03:20
i mean i think it's just an amazing
00:03:22
opportunity to
00:03:24
learn from myself what it really means
00:03:26
to live under a dollar day
00:03:28
which
00:03:30
coming from this reality i
00:03:33
can't really say i have any idea
00:03:37
[Music]
00:03:39
i love you
00:03:42
we're bringing along two filmmakers
00:03:44
[Music]
00:03:46
and setting out to better understand the
00:03:48
reality of extreme poverty
00:03:50
firsthand let's do this
00:03:53
[Music]
00:04:17
we're beginning our journey in guatemala
00:04:19
city with a six-hour ride on the back of
00:04:21
a crowded chicken bus
00:04:27
[Music]
00:04:30
we are headed to the village of pena
00:04:31
blanca that's representative of rural
00:04:34
poverty in many parts of the world
00:04:39
in these remote areas of guatemala 7 out
00:04:42
of 10 people live under the poverty line
00:04:53
[Music]
00:05:05
[Music]
00:05:09
is that you're hitting stuff there well
00:05:10
i think i think we've got a boundary of
00:05:12
like a big rock right here so this might
00:05:14
have to be our edge
00:05:16
maybe it's just
00:05:18
can be chipped away
00:05:20
[Music]
00:05:25
okay
00:05:29
why is it going out there are you
00:05:30
pulling it too hard too high
00:05:34
no
00:05:36
sadness
00:05:45
eight weeks
00:05:49
oh
00:05:50
god i cannot believe it came together
00:05:53
this is so one of those ideas that we
00:05:55
would talk about and never do
00:05:58
oh we're here
00:06:03
audio recording
00:06:04
filming filming
00:06:18
well
00:06:19
we're here in the rural highlands in the
00:06:21
small village of pena blanca
00:06:24
there are about 300 people living here
00:06:26
most of whom are mayan
00:06:30
most of the people only spoke a mayan
00:06:33
dialect called kachiko and it was
00:06:35
impossible to learn
00:06:39
[Music]
00:06:41
we want to live as close as possible to
00:06:43
the reality of poverty so we're
00:06:45
replicating a few key aspects of it our
00:06:48
budget for the trip is one dollar a day
00:06:50
each for 56 days
00:06:53
but instead of giving ourselves one
00:06:54
dollar every day
00:06:56
we're making our income unpredictable
00:06:59
this way we do not know we'll get paid
00:07:03
we're doing this because many of our
00:07:05
neighbors are employed informally as day
00:07:08
laborers or farmers so they never know
00:07:10
when they'll get paid or how much
00:07:11
they'll make
00:07:13
[Music]
00:07:16
simulating this by taking our total
00:07:18
budget of one dollar a day each and
00:07:20
splitting it into random numbers between
00:07:22
zero and nine
00:07:23
[Music]
00:07:25
then every morning we'll pick a number
00:07:26
out of a hat
00:07:28
if we pick a nine we make nine dollars
00:07:30
that day pull the nine totally you got a
00:07:33
nine
00:07:34
where's the six all right that's a nine
00:07:36
for sure
00:07:37
that's great
00:07:39
dude
00:07:40
he's good
00:07:41
a second aspect of poverty we want to
00:07:43
simulate is the process of starting our
00:07:45
own business
00:07:46
so we're taking out a loan of 125
00:07:50
to pay for somewhere to live and for a
00:07:52
plot of land to grow radishes on
00:07:58
our small loan is part of a service for
00:08:00
the poor called microfinance
00:08:02
zach and i have heard both good and bad
00:08:04
things about these banks but wanted to
00:08:07
see firsthand if they were helping in
00:08:08
pena blanca both from our neighbors and
00:08:11
by taking out a loan ourselves
00:08:13
[Music]
00:08:15
this means that every 15 days we'll have
00:08:17
to pay back small installments of 6.25
00:08:21
or else have to default on our loan
00:08:31
i mean we've got one thousand three
00:08:32
hundred twelve gonzalez
00:08:35
that's how much we have left yeah
00:08:38
so
00:08:40
get chicken sell some eggs
00:08:42
um
00:08:43
yeah i mean out of that we can get
00:08:45
i mean if we buy a chicken out of that
00:08:47
that's
00:08:48
dude we're not buying chicken on that
00:08:50
i think we should buy a chicken out of
00:08:52
that no dude like
00:08:54
it doesn't even like chickens don't like
00:08:56
automatically lay eggs we don't have
00:08:58
money for feed
00:09:00
and we can buy like fruit or anything
00:09:02
else that's so much better for us okay
00:09:04
we'll research it we'll research the
00:09:06
chicken okay but like
00:09:11
[Applause]
00:09:19
foreign
00:09:32
is that really where we're gonna
00:09:33
get water
00:09:40
oh dude there's a bug in there
00:09:43
sean you should check this out that's
00:09:45
actually how much stuff is in
00:09:48
there hey we have a water source
00:10:01
that was the old point and we can't grow
00:10:02
anything that's gonna
00:10:04
actually
00:10:05
but if we can actually grow radishes
00:10:07
potentially in time does that sort of
00:10:08
switch our idea back well except for
00:10:10
that i still don't know how to really
00:10:11
grow radishes
00:10:13
i mean like
00:10:15
radishes completely like anything
00:10:16
depends on like the soil content which
00:10:18
we have no idea about like it depends on
00:10:20
like how much fertilizer we need like
00:10:22
like you need
00:10:23
you just need to know how to farm and we
00:10:25
just like don't i mean we could wing it
00:10:27
and try and help that it works but like
00:10:39
[Music]
00:10:45
[Music]
00:10:48
is
00:11:09
six
00:11:21
one of my questions was were the people
00:11:24
in living extreme poverty like really
00:11:25
thinking about how they manage money or
00:11:28
was it this survival mode and it's like
00:11:30
just trying to scrape together anything
00:11:31
they have just to feed their children
00:11:39
[Music]
00:11:46
uh
00:11:47
[Music]
00:12:21
firewood is probably the most expensive
00:12:24
thing that we were that we were buying
00:12:26
in our budget
00:12:28
we are living on the line on the edge
00:12:30
always of being able to drop into a
00:12:32
really bad
00:12:37
bit situation
00:13:07
it's the best thing i've ever eaten
00:13:14
one and a half pounds of black beans
00:13:15
gives us 1600 calories
00:13:18
one half pounds of yellow rice because
00:13:19
it's 2 000 roughly
00:13:21
but still like 3 600
00:13:24
calories split amongst four people is
00:13:26
not
00:13:27
good enough for our daily value
00:13:45
zach fell flat on his ass after
00:13:47
every time we stand up for some reason
00:13:49
like get huge head rushes i've almost
00:13:52
passed out like
00:13:54
today probably like three times
00:13:56
and i don't know if that's a lack of
00:13:57
nutrition or what the deal is but
00:13:59
zach actually went for it today we had
00:14:01
our first
00:14:02
full-on
00:14:03
full-on fall and when he came to
00:14:06
he was only speaking in spanish
00:14:14
i'm used to eating a lot i'm used to
00:14:17
being active a lot
00:14:18
but when you're not eating anything when
00:14:20
you're eating like 500 calories you
00:14:23
become incredibly lethargic you have
00:14:25
zero energy to do anything
00:14:36
foreign
00:14:40
[Music]
00:14:58
foreign
00:15:03
[Music]
00:15:21
this is only my second week actually in
00:15:23
pena blanca and i feel like we're
00:15:25
already showing signs of being worn down
00:15:27
and dejected
00:15:29
we all have these pugas
00:15:32
we all kind of got destroyed on our dirt
00:15:34
floors
00:15:37
[Music]
00:15:50
and you know that was
00:15:52
that was the point where i was you know
00:15:54
like you know like i want to go home
00:15:56
like i need i need to get out of here
00:15:58
like why am i doing this
00:16:02
and we were eating better than a lot of
00:16:04
the people in the community
00:16:20
jose and rico just brought us a gift and
00:16:22
he wrote us a letter
00:16:24
does he want it he wants us from the
00:16:25
classroom yeah
00:16:28
professor

[Music]
00:17:41
foreign
00:17:48
okay
00:18:02
[Music]
00:18:08
that was absolutely nuts did you see
00:18:10
that madness
00:18:11
that was 315 kids playing with like
00:18:15
six different balls at the same time
00:18:18
and i don't know
00:18:20
um
00:18:21
and i don't know how many games and like
00:18:24
snacks were distributed but that was
00:18:27
nuts that was nuts how fun yeah
00:18:39
we really didn't know who he was
00:18:40
initially that he was kind of just
00:18:42
the kid that was always around
00:18:44
and he was just like so eager to learn
00:18:47
you know record this como estas
00:18:51
how
00:18:53
c perfecto
00:18:56
it turns out chino's family couldn't
00:18:58
afford the 25 cost of books and supplies
00:19:01
for school
00:19:04
they had a family of eight that lived in
00:19:06
a single room they no longer had
00:19:08
electricity because they couldn't pay
00:19:10
for it you know his father never knew
00:19:12
when he was going to work or not because
00:19:13
he worked as a day laborer and chino who
00:19:16
was 12
00:19:17
had to work in the fields
00:19:46
so
00:20:04
we'd see him coming walking up the
00:20:05
mountain with this
00:20:07
thing wrapped around his head and like a
00:20:09
huge bundle of like logs and sticks
00:20:12
behind him
00:20:14
at one point chris asked chino like you
00:20:16
know if you could do anything what would
00:20:18
you be and she and chino's response was
00:20:20
you know i'm going to be a farmer
00:20:22
and you know chris was like you know
00:20:23
like what would you be if you could be
00:20:25
anything
00:20:26
and i mean he was like i'd be a pro
00:20:28
soccer player but at 12 years old
00:20:31
chino had accepted the faith that he was
00:20:32
going to be a farmer
00:20:38
[Music]
00:20:48
chino like most of the people here
00:20:50
speaks kachikel in only a few words of
00:20:52
spanish
00:21:02
[Music]
00:21:17
[Music]
00:21:42
is
00:21:55
yeah i mean i think i completely saw
00:21:56
myself in a lot of them you know i
00:22:00
was like eager to learn when you're like
00:22:01
like so excited about building little
00:22:04
things outside of our house and you know
00:22:06
that's what i did for my childhood and
00:22:08
realizing that it is the situation that
00:22:10
they're in that's holding them back
00:22:12
not who they are
00:22:16
[Music]
00:22:23
is
00:22:25
old
00:22:27
are
00:22:30
you
00:22:47
revenues are growing i know
00:22:50
we're gonna pay off our finance loan
00:22:53
we'll eat more
00:22:54
it's gonna happen man i can sense it
00:22:56
already
00:22:59
very clumpy though
00:23:00
they are really clumpy
00:23:03
that's bad right
00:23:13
everything about a banana
00:23:16
just brings me joy here you peel it back
00:23:18
it's naked some naked fruit it's
00:23:21
vulnerable
00:23:25
i just take a bite
00:23:27
and savor it each time
00:23:29
like it's the best bite
00:23:31
a banana i'll ever take every single
00:23:33
time
00:23:34
i just make sure like the top of the
00:23:36
banana is always even after oh yeah you
00:23:38
know
00:23:39
your teeth works kind of indented like
00:23:41
this yeah so then you gotta play the
00:23:43
game and like reverse the bite
00:23:45
oh nice yeah
00:23:46
so that it's even you know like that's
00:23:49
it slows down your eating too
00:23:57
um
00:23:58
as economics majors chris and i were
00:24:00
really interested in how do the person
00:24:02
living under a dollar a day manage their
00:24:04
money so we're asking people questions
00:24:06
like how much money do you make what are
00:24:08
your expenses where do you save money do
00:24:11
you have any outstanding loans and these
00:24:13
are you know these are really personal
00:24:15
questions for
00:24:16
for anyone
00:24:24
anthony and i think the first week were
00:24:26
there he was like the first growing up
00:24:29
from the community to come to our house
00:24:31
introduce himself
00:24:32
you know he was so excited to meet us
00:24:42
with
00:24:46
[Music]
00:24:52
just 24 and 20 years old anthony and
00:24:55
rosa already manage a household of eight
00:24:57
people
00:24:58
[Music]
00:25:06
as a family they survive on 1.25 each
00:25:09
per day to pay for not only food but
00:25:12
larger costs of a new baby their kid's
00:25:14
education and repairs to their house
00:25:17
like his wife is 20.
00:25:20
i'm 20.
00:25:21
she has three children
00:25:23
younger than me
00:25:25
i feel like she's 24. i look up to her
00:25:27
so much
00:25:30
[Music]
00:25:32
they're teaching us how to more
00:25:33
efficiently make fires
00:25:35
cook more substantive food
00:25:38
and better bargain in town
00:25:43
living so close to the edge these small
00:25:45
changes are having huge impacts on our
00:25:47
lives
00:25:49
probably the most important one is lard
00:25:53
we bought some straight lard today in
00:25:55
town to try to add to our fat content
00:25:58
if you could feel this texture right now
00:26:00
it is one of the fallest things ever
00:26:01
[Music]
00:26:03
this lard right here has what was it 208
00:26:06
grams of fat and 1800 calories which is
00:26:10
the equivalent more than more than the
00:26:12
rice or beans that we were eating
00:26:14
and we started mashing our beans and
00:26:17
refrying our beans in larp
00:26:20
feels so good in the stomach
00:26:24
in our third week they invited us over
00:26:26
to their home for a small snack
00:26:28
but when we arrived they were preparing
00:26:30
the traditional meal of pulik served
00:26:33
only twice a year for special occasions
00:26:48
he wants to say a few things to the
00:26:49
camera
00:26:53
[Music]
00:27:05
[Music]
00:27:13
our desire to repay anthony and rosa not
00:27:16
only for the expense of the incredible
00:27:18
food but also their generosity
00:27:20
is overwhelming
00:27:21
[Music]
00:27:26
they have so little yet they're willing
00:27:28
to give so much
00:27:30
[Music]
00:27:32
we all agree that somehow we will save
00:27:34
the money to cook them a pool leak
00:27:36
dinner before we go
00:27:41
we do like 60. it's only three days
00:27:45
we can just
00:27:47
decrease our
00:27:50
the amount we like we can get like
00:27:52
you know pound and a half
00:27:54
i mean i don't think we even really need
00:27:56
to dip into our savings that much
00:27:58
yeah at all that'd be awesome
00:28:01
if we can just if we just want to like
00:28:03
not eat very much
00:28:09
[Music]
00:28:23
[Music]
00:28:29
struggles with how we need to pay
00:28:31
anthony's family back and
00:28:34
also pay off our loan which is due in
00:28:37
three days
00:28:39
so
00:28:40
[Music]
00:28:46
we drew
00:28:48
really low numbers for four days i
00:28:50
pulled four numbers in a row and two of
00:28:52
them were zeros and two of them were
00:28:53
ones so amongst the four of us we had 12
00:28:56
cents a person to live on per day and
00:28:59
you know we woke up and it was market
00:29:00
day and we literally have no money for
00:29:02
food
00:29:12
so this is a big pole
00:29:14
we need
00:29:16
at minimum
00:29:17
two or higher you get a one
00:29:20
no bananas
00:29:22
we get a zero
00:29:24
you're gonna talk to anthony and take
00:29:26
out a loan
00:29:28
from him
00:29:42
[Applause]
00:29:47
it's a knife
00:29:49
[Music]
00:30:02
bananas for everyone
00:30:05
we got lucky and pulled a nine
00:30:07
but what if you're out of food and you
00:30:08
don't know the next time money will be
00:30:10
coming in
00:30:12
how do you choose between feeding your
00:30:13
child or keeping them in school

day 28 right day 28 day 20.
00:32:07
we had started to do these really
00:32:09
amazing interviews around the fourth
00:32:10
week and
00:32:12
chris and i spoke spanish so we were
00:32:14
understanding everything that was going
00:32:15
on and you know we had started to be
00:32:17
affected by these stories but ryan and
00:32:19
sean didn't speak spanish
00:32:22
and they were talking and they're like
00:32:24
when you finally deal with you know this
00:32:26
learning how to survive it's not so bad
00:32:28
no problem this is not that hard you
00:32:30
know we're halfway through i could do
00:32:32
this for another you know
00:32:34
two years
00:32:35
i just got really angry and upset
00:32:37
because
00:32:38
because clearly the people were around
00:32:41
you know they had learned to survive
00:32:43
but it wasn't okay and it wasn't easy
00:32:45
for them and they had to like work so
00:32:48
hard every single day and they couldn't
00:32:50
follow their dreams because they
00:32:51
couldn't go to school because it would
00:32:52
provide for their family
00:32:53
and chris and i were so involved with
00:32:55
this research that we weren't sharing
00:32:57
what was going on
00:32:59
what were some of the questions in
00:33:00
general i mean i guess i don't really
00:33:02
even know what you guys were asking we
00:33:04
started getting into um
00:33:06
where all their income was coming from
00:33:08
and you know like what skills are they
00:33:10
use
00:33:11
to work and like what they really deal
00:33:13
with to find money in emergencies and
00:33:16
you know
00:33:18
there's their lives are so much more
00:33:20
complicated than our initial interviews
00:33:22
showed
00:33:25
even something as simple as what you
00:33:26
cook with is important
00:33:30
a broken stove or cooking over an open
00:33:32
fire can have dramatic effects on the
00:33:34
health of a family
00:33:35
especially on the kids
00:33:38
[Music]
00:33:50
um
00:33:58
[Music]
00:34:05
it's incredibly hard to save up a large
00:34:07
amount of money for a cooking stove
00:34:09
but anthony did it with 12 of his
00:34:11
friends by using an innovative idea
00:34:13
called a savings club
00:34:15
together they each decided to save 12
00:34:17
every month
00:34:20
and at the end of each month the total
00:34:22
sum of 144 dollars would be randomly
00:34:24
distributed to one of the members
00:34:27
this process then repeats itself until
00:34:29
each person has benefited from a large
00:34:31
sum of money at a single time and that
00:34:34
that large sum of money was much more
00:34:36
useful to them because they could take
00:34:38
that money and spend it on a big ticket
00:34:39
item like a stove or maybe pay for a
00:34:42
wedding
00:34:44
and you know that's that's really
00:34:45
innovative
00:34:51
and we started talking about how close
00:34:53
this community was and we hang out with
00:34:56
chino every day
00:34:58
and his mom this past year got really
00:35:00
sick and they don't even have enough
00:35:03
money to you know to get a car to go to
00:35:05
the hospital in town and anthony covered
00:35:08
the entire thing
00:35:14
esposa
00:35:18
[Music]
00:35:23
me
00:35:30
anthony actually paid for
00:35:32
them to go to the hospital he paid for
00:35:34
the doctor's visits and the medicine and
00:35:37
the medicine
00:35:37
[Music]
00:35:42
anthony can afford the loan because he's
00:35:44
the only one in the village who has a
00:35:45
formal job
00:35:50
[Music]
00:35:56
unlike everyone else he can count on
00:35:58
getting a regular paycheck
00:36:10
[Music]
00:36:17
and
00:36:17
while anthony did help
00:36:20
these other people like that's still a
00:36:22
huge strain on their own finances yeah
00:36:24
that's where like if there was you know
00:36:27
institution willing to take on that risk
00:36:29
and
00:36:30
and lend to someone like chino's parents
00:36:32
you know then they don't have to put a
00:36:34
strain on
00:36:35
on antonio
00:36:36
and you know not everyone has that
00:36:38
community around them or the people they
00:36:40
can go to
00:36:41
in times of need
00:36:43
you know and that was something that
00:36:46
latina
00:36:49
and francino
00:36:52
yeah
00:36:59
good i am good
00:37:02
how are you how are you
00:37:04
good
00:37:06
i don't know um that yeah not everyone
00:37:08
has
00:37:09
you know has such a tight-knit community
00:37:11
around them so if you have an emergency
00:37:13
like chino's parents here
00:37:15
like what are you gonna do if you don't
00:37:18
you know you don't have that person
00:37:19
right next to you or you don't have the
00:37:20
emergency funds
00:37:22
or that that community to rely on it's
00:37:25
true
00:37:29
[Music]
00:37:39
hydro devil's pretty sick at the moment
00:37:41
he's got a little bit of a upstep up set
00:37:44
timing
00:37:45
this is just
00:37:52
at one point i had both giardia and e
00:37:54
coli at the same time and uh you know
00:37:58
that's no good especially when you only
00:37:59
have two pairs of boxers
00:38:01
and
00:38:02
you're sleeping
00:38:03
you know on on the same mat sharing a
00:38:05
blanket with uh with someone next to you
00:38:07
i uh
00:38:10
i think chris is really sick
00:38:15
just doesn't sound like he's doing very
00:38:17
well
00:38:19
dude i think it uh
00:38:21
i have that like sulfuric burp thing
00:38:23
happening again
00:38:27
like i can't even push on my stomach
00:38:33
i can't sleep another night like this
00:38:38
gonna go get chris tested for some
00:38:41
bacterial infections and see if he has a
00:38:43
parasite or
00:38:45
hopefully it's just a stomach thing
00:38:51
today in town we found out that chris
00:38:54
has some parasites in his stomach it's
00:38:57
called giardia giardia i believe and
00:39:00
it's like living
00:39:01
in my small intestine in here
00:39:03
and it uh causes like excessive bloating
00:39:06
and stomach pressure
00:39:12
the medicine is 200 gonzalez so even if
00:39:15
people could afford to get tested
00:39:17
it's incredibly expensive to actually
00:39:19
get the medicine
00:39:22
there's no way we could pay that cost
00:39:25
i have to use medicine that we brought
00:39:27
in case of emergency
00:39:30
[Music]
00:39:34
if we can't budget for a simple sickness
00:39:36
what will we do in the case of a more
00:39:38
serious problem
00:39:43
just two months before we arrived
00:39:44
hurricane agatha smashed through
00:39:46
guatemala disaster workers in guatemala
00:39:49
say at least a dozen people are dead
00:40:14
[Music]
00:40:22
[Music]
00:40:34

00:40:39
[Music]
00:40:46
[Music]
00:41:00
if you've lost everything
00:41:02
how do you get the money to get back on
00:41:04
your feet
00:41:05
how do you begin building a lump sum to
00:41:07
start a business
00:41:10
we wanted to see if getting a loan from
00:41:12
a traditional bank was even an option
00:41:14
for our neighbors
00:41:17
okay so you
00:41:19
have to put the camera down initially i
00:41:20
think unless you want me just like
00:41:21
through the door and then put it down
00:41:25
especially
00:41:32
[Music]
00:41:42
are you uh going for the discreet film
00:41:45
yeah yeah sweet
00:41:46
uh
00:41:48
[Music]
00:41:54
[Music]
00:42:00
is
00:42:03
that was highly illegal to be doing so i
00:42:06
tried to see if we could get a uh a 3
00:42:08
000 quetzale loan and the problem is we
00:42:11
need all of these other
00:42:13
items we need a receipt of our
00:42:15
electricity bills we need an nit number
00:42:18
which she said costs a bunch of money to
00:42:19
get we need a copy of the amount of
00:42:21
money we're making which i don't think
00:42:23
we can get if we have a form informal
00:42:25
job bills from the last three months to
00:42:28
people who will sign for us and then we
00:42:30
need to be able to sign our name too
00:42:32
there's no chance we could get a loan
00:42:33
from from that bank uh there's just no
00:42:36
way i think we should ask
00:42:38
i mean i really want to know we visited
00:42:40
rosa again to see if there are any other
00:42:42
options
00:42:55
grameen provides reliable savings
00:42:57
accounts and loans designed to empower
00:42:59
the poorest of the poor to improve their
00:43:01
lives
00:43:07
[Music]
00:43:21
is
00:43:26
with a loan of just 200
00:43:28
rosso was able to start her own weaving
00:43:30
business
00:43:36
it was
00:43:37
so huge to see the potential
00:43:41
for what even the simple access to
00:43:44
credit can do in the lives of
00:43:47
of our neighbors of our close friends
00:43:51
i see oh

00:44:55
when a germain borrower receives a loan
00:44:58
they also commit to opening a long-term
00:45:00
savings account a safe and a convenient
00:45:02
way to build up a large sum of money
00:45:14
we found that beyond using a loan or
00:45:16
savings account to start a business our
00:45:18
neighbors were using them to absorb
00:45:20
shocks and make investments around the
00:45:21
house
00:45:23
[Music]
00:45:31
these financial services such as
00:45:33
microfinance like they go far beyond
00:45:35
just providing extra capital they really
00:45:38
shape the family and they have these
00:45:40
side effects of empowering women
00:45:47
[Music]
00:45:54
finally
00:45:55
we have ravenos
00:45:57
we have grown our ravenos
00:46:07
instead of selling our radishes we're
00:46:09
giving them out as gifts to thank the
00:46:10
people we've interviewed
00:46:14
these radishes represent a new source of
00:46:16
income for us
00:46:18
one that can move us closer to two
00:46:19
dollars a day
00:46:22
while that still doesn't seem like much
00:46:24
it would double our livelihood
00:46:27
and it's kind of those those small
00:46:29
incremental changes that actually have
00:46:31
such a profound effect
00:46:33
on people that are living at that level
00:46:41
and you know i feel like that will have
00:46:44
such an impact on the next generation of
00:46:46
that family that it's really there that
00:46:48
we'll see progress out of poverty
00:46:59
[Music]
00:47:16
after all this research
00:47:18
we had saved up the whole time for this
00:47:21
dinner
00:47:30
it was just this amazing moment and that
00:47:33
was the last day that we were there
00:47:49
we wanted to convey just like how
00:47:51
appreciative we were of what they had
00:47:53
done for us and
00:47:54
not only from you know what they had
00:47:56
shared with us but
00:47:58
being our friends and you know building
00:48:01
a relationship
00:48:03
with us and
00:48:05
in many ways teaching us
00:48:07
and accepting us as
00:48:11
as a friend instead of just you know a
00:48:13
foreigner
00:48:26
so
00:48:53
what can i do
00:48:56
as an individual that's the hardest part
00:48:58
about it and what we were talking about
00:49:00
last night is
00:49:04
there is no one answer you know that
00:49:07
we've poured
00:49:09
three you know two and a half trillion
00:49:11
dollars in international development
00:49:14
trying to end poverty
00:49:16
and a lot of times it's just made things
00:49:18
worse like that's what we're trying to
00:49:20
prove so much right here is the power of
00:49:22
partial solutions the like
00:49:25
you know
00:49:26
there's more people who are not in
00:49:28
potluck not living in poverty than there
00:49:30
are who and are living in poverty like
00:49:33
each individual
00:49:35
can affect and help
00:49:36
a single other individual we can
00:49:39
change the world
00:49:40
hello
00:49:42

[Music]
00:50:33
i now have a much deeper respect for
00:50:35
someone living at that level i
00:50:37
personally i lost 20 pounds in just two
00:50:40
months and i got to go home and
00:50:42
rehabilitate but what if that's
00:50:45
someone's life where they live like that
00:50:47
day in and day out with no nutrition and
00:50:50
and not not an adequate amount of food
00:50:52
it was something that we could never
00:50:54
