The Power of Books
Francina Mutilifa plans to pursue her dream of becoming a lawyer, but as a 10th grader at Rehoboth High School, she is already facing a number of challenges. The school, which is 91 kilometers south of Windhoek, Namibia, has never had enough textbooks for students to use at home. Francina, like many of her classmates, is sometimes rushed to do homework in class and then must finish her work at home, without the benefit of her textbooks.

When Water Flows, Economic Growth Follows
Ashot Abrahamyan is a farmer in Armenia whose apricot orchards lie beneath picturesque purple mountains. His farm is 30 meters above the closest public canal; so in order to irrigate, he had to pump water for more than seven hours every day. For decades, less than three kilometers of the canal system were operational. Beginning late 2009, to respond to the irrigation needs of Mr. Abrahamyan and hundreds of other Armenian farmers, the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) funded the reconstruction of gravity-fed irrigation systems as part of its compact with Armenia.

Success Story: MCC Policy Reforms Show Why Road Maintenance Matters
Imagine: You live in a rural village and have a small family-run mango farm. During the rainy season, the main road to the marketplace is impassable; after hours of navigating through dangerous conditions, you have no choice but to turn around. Unable to make it to market, your mangoes rot, wasting hours of hard work and decreasing your family’s income for this month. The road you travelled is unreliable and unsafe during periods of heavy rain. Although the road was renovated a few years ago, due to poor maintenance and failed drainage systems, it does not provide a reliable route to markets.
