"Living on a Dollar a Day: The Lives and Faces of the World's Poor"

Kailesh Chand, 26, who sits with his son Om Prakash 2, is a machine operator in New Delhi, India. It is a job his brother had before he lost his leg in a work-related accident. They are squatters in Kale Khan along the Yamuna River in East Delhi living on government property but could be kicked out and have no place to live. He works six days a week and his shift changes daily to make $2 a day. He says his salary is okay now but worries about how he will afford to send his children to school later. His wife Sunita Devi stays home to watch their infant son Hemant.
