Imagine living in a house the size of your closet.... maybe even smaller. Imainge looking at your stomach and being able to count all of your ribs. The people of Mali have to go trough this everyday. Many of these people dont even know how to read. They jump in excitment for half a bottle of water. The people are all always working and hardly sleep. They have one set of clothes.

__**HOMES**__

The homes of Mali are exremely poor. Some houses are made out of clay, mud, wood with a hay roof, or even carved in a mountain. Imagine sitting down in your house while it was raining outside. If your house had a hay roof, the inside of your house would be wet. Imagine having your bed and belongings soaked. Some houses are made on stilts. When the river floods, the whole enire silts part is covered in water. When that happens,every time the people go outside, they have to go in the river. They have to be excellent swimmers because they have no lifevests.

__**CLOTHING**__
The people in Mali have little to no clothing. If families don't have enough money to pay for clothing for everybody in the family, usually the adults get the

clothing. Boy children usually have no shirt and just pants. However girls get full clothing, except when they're a baby.

 Cities

 The cities in Mali are very poor. They don't have a very good water source, and most of the water is dirty. There are no paved sidwalks in Mali, just dirt. The roads are dirt too. There are no specialties in Mali such a Coke and Pepsi. 2% of Mali's population has cars. If you were to count how many cars are in Four Winds subdivision, that's how many cars are in their whole country.
