Dominican Republic 2002 The Countryside

While the big city looks prosperous, poverty can be found in the nearby hillsides and mountains.  People in these areas have little or no access to healthcare.

Like most other third world countries, the people work as subsistence farmers.   They usually have barely enough to feed themselves. If the crops are good that year they can take some of their extra to sell for other needed items for their families.
