“Yesterday a strong wind came. My house fell down and everything was destroyed. I’m afraid because I have no protection for my family."

"I am living with my family here in the open. I am sleeping with my family here in the open. We are at home, but we don’t have a house. We just want to live a normal life.”

*Taha and his family are #MoreThanANumber (Location: Goudebo, Burkina Faso)*
