The Wider Image: Former 'crackland' addict turns trash into livelihood 
Fabiana Silva called the streets of Sao Paulo home for 16 years as one of hundreds of people trapped in cracolandia, the open-air drug markets in South America's biggest city. Now the street has become a livelihood for Silva, who has kicked an addiction to crack cocaine and moved into an informal two-story dwelling in a nearby slum. Silva, 38, pulls her bright purple cart by hand through Sao Paulo, piling it high with more than 400 kg of recyclables picked from refuse to earn roughly 100 reais ($32) per day - the only money she earns to support three children. "The street today puts food on my table," she said. REUTERS/Nacho Doce SEARCH "NACHO RECYCLING" FOR THIS STORY. SEARCH "WIDER IMAGE" FOR ALL STORIES. TPX IMAGES OF THE DAY.
