"Dollar-A-Day"





39 of 40

Before falling ill, Margaret Nampijja, 29, of Kampala, Uganda made her living buying and selling clothes and shoes. She has three daughters and a son, two of her daughters are HIV positive. Bedridden, she has sores in her throat and a rash that covers her body and she struggles to speak. Yet she says she has hope. She pleaded for anti-retroviral treatment, but did not have access to it. She died one month after the photo was taken.
