Because people here have limited income and limited ability to store products they purchase, they will often purchase just enough of a product to last one day, or even one use. It is very common to see small packages of shampoo, toothpaste, rice, vinegar and salt being sold for a single day of use. This opens the market for those who have enough savings and ability to travel to purchase bulk items at the local markets then divide the product into small daily rations which are sold for a profit. In this picture, a cleaning product is being divided into daily portions and will be sold in the squatter area next to our clinic.
