These Photographs Show What Life Is Like on $1 a Day

Phay Phanna, 60, lost his leg when he stepped on a land mine in 1988 near the Cambodian-Thai border. He is a widower and is the sole head of his family, caring for 11 children in a home he does not own. It has been scheduled for demolition since being purchased by a private developer in 2008 in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.

At the Krousa Thmey Center in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, five brothers sleep together on the floor. This is a temporary orphanage or, in reality, safe house for children who have been found abandoned and wandering the streets. Because space is limited, they cannot stay for long, but for now at least they are given some refuge from the influences of the streets of the city. These brothers range in age from 5 to 12.
