Agencies help families who earn more than the federal poverty level. For example, some programs offer subsidies to families that are 150 percent of the federal poverty level. For a household of four that would be 1.5 x $25,100 = $37,650.
The traditional economic practice in Africa is primarily herding. Many African tribes and communities regard cattle as part and parcel of their lives and wealth. For example, the Maasai tribe found in Tanzania and Kenya have for centuries engaged in herding as their way of life, a tradition that is very much alive even today.
The Maasai are semi- nomads. They traverse the land with their cattle in search of pasture. They leave the women and the little ones behind in their Kraals as they travel considerable distances to look for pasture. They do not dwell in urban areas but in the open plains where their cattle are free to graze. However, they have taken their children to school and a new generation that is savvy of current times has emerged but still fiercely proud of their traditions and way of life.
Wait is this a real question

<h3>This paper traces the history of human-environment interactions in the Pacific Islands during the last millennium, focusing on three main periods: the Little Climatic Optimum, the Little Ice Age, and, in greatest detail, the transition around A.D. 1300 between the two. The Little Climatic Optimum (approximately A.D. 750–1300) was marked by warm, rising temperatures, rising sea level and probably increasing aridity. The latter condition was linked to development of water-conservatory strategies (agricultural terracing being the most common) requiring cooperation between human groups which facilitated formation of large nucleated settlements and increased sociopolitical complexity. The transition period (approximately A.D. 1270–1475) involved rapid temperature and sea-level fall, perhaps a short-lived precipitation increase. Temperature fall stressed crops and reef organisms, sea-level fall lowered water tables and exposed reef surfaces reducing their potential as food resources for coastal dwellers. Increased precipitation washed away exposed infrastructure. Consequently food resource bases on many islands diminished abruptly across the transition. The Little Ice Age (approximately A.D. 1300–1800) was marked by cooler temperatures and lower sea levels. The lingering effects of the earlier transition largely determined human lifestyles during this period. Conflict resulted from resource depletion. Unprotected coastal settlements were abandoned in favour of fortified inland, often upland, settlements. Climate change is suggested to have been a important determinant of human cultural change during the last millennium in the Pacific Islands.</h3>
