ACAUA, BRAZIL - FEBRUARY 14: Residents of Acaua wait for nightfall after working on their fields February 14, 2003 in Acaua, Brazil. Due to the lack of sufficient rain, they risk loosing their crops. Acaua's population has one of the lowest incomes in Brazil, with approximately 87 percent of its residents living on less than U.S. 55 dollars a month. The area frequently suffers from drought as well. As a result of these conditions, Acaua was chosen by Brazil's government, along with three other comunities in the state of Piaul, to serve as an experiment for the implementation of a program known as "Zero Hunger," which is designed to, through a series of intiatives, eradicate malnutrition from Brazil.
