Mothers take on malnutrition in Burundi

KIRUNDO, Burundi, 22 February 2016 – “Prices here have increased,” says Anastasie Sinzobakwira, cradling her son outside the Kirundo hospital. His name is Joseph. He is 5 years old, and severely malnourished. “One kilogram of rice was [BIF]1,200 last year, and now it’s 1,500. It’s the same thing with sweet potatoes. They were 1,000 before, and they’re 1,800 now.”
