While some children worry about doing well at school, there are those in Nepal who worry about the next meal. The photos on this page show some child performers who earn a little money not only to feed themselves but their family. Starting at a very young age, they do tricks and stunts to entertain passers-by. According to the Nepal Millennium Development Goal Progress Report 2010, 25.4 percent of Nepal's population live below the national poverty line and 38.6 percent of children aged under 5 years old are underweight.
