4Mexico is home to more than 119.5 million people, according to data released by the National Institute of Statistics and Geography.Toeram-ponenan'ny vahoaka mihoatra ny 119,5 tapitrisa i Meksika, araka ny angona navoakan'ny Ivontoeram-pirenena momba ny Antontanisa sy ny Jeografia.
5According to the Mexican government's own statistics, almost half the population lived in poverty in 2012, when 13 percent of the country also endured extreme poverty.Araka ny antontanisa an'i governemanta Meksikana manokana, efa ho ny antsasaky ny vahoaka no niaina tao anaty fahantràna tamin'ny 2012, raha efa ny 13 isan-jaton'ny firenena ihany koa no miaritra fahantrana lalina.
6These are unattractive figures for a nation that aims to expand free trade with countries like neighboring United States and Canada.Tarehimarika tsy dia mahasarika loatra ireo ho anà firenena iray mikendry ny hanitatra ny fifanakalozana ara-barotra malalaka miaraka amin'ireo firenena mpifanolo-bodirindrina aminy toa an'i Etazonia sy Kanadà.
7Poverty also complicates Mexico's hopes to become a regional leader on development issues in Latin America.Mampanano-sarotra ny fanantenan'i Meksika ho lasa mpitarika amin'ny resaka olan'ny fampandrosoana any amin'ny faritra Amerika Latina ihany koa ny fahantràny.
8The country's current poverty, of course, denotes that people lack many things, which only adds to the significance of work by international organizations like TECHO (which means “roof” in Spanish).Ny fahantràna ankehitriny misy ao amin'ny firenena, mazava loatra, dia midika fa tsy ampy zavatra marobe ny mponina izay manampy fotsiny ihany ny lanjan'ny asan'ireo fikambanana iraisam-pirenena toy ny TECHO (izay midika hoe “tafo” amin'ny fiteny Espaniôla).
9TECHO is an anti-poverty group that promotes community development in Latin America and the Caribbean, building homes and offering free vocational training.Vondrona manohitra ny fahantràna ny TECHO izay mampiroborobo ny fampandrosoana ireo vondrom-piarahamonina any Amerika Latina sy Karaiba, amin'ny fanorenana trano sy fanomezana fanofànana asa maimaim-poana.
10Even in the country's capital, Mexican poverty can be severe.Na dia ao an-drenivohitry ny firenena aza, mety ho henjana be ny fahantràna Meksikàna.
11Earlier this month, one of TECHO's staff members named Luz, described what she witnessed working in the area of Xochimilco, where there is a shortage of many basic necessities:Tany am-piandohan'ity volana ity, nofaritan'i Luz, iray amin'ireo mpikambana mpitantana ny TECHO ny zavatra natrehan'ny masony fony izy niasa tany amin'ny faritr'i Xochimilco, toerana iray izay tsy misy ireo filàna fototra tokony hanànana andavanandro :
12“Las Cruces” [The Crosses] is a particular, though not isolated, case.“Las Cruces” [Ireo tànam-bokovoko] dia tranga iray manokana, na tsy miavaka aza.

14But having existed all this time doesn't mean it's consolidated or built up a good infrastructure.Saingy ny hoe fisiana nandritra izay fotoana ela izay tsy midika fa niha-mafy orina izy na hoe nahatsangana fotodrafitrasa iray tsara.
15Since its residents arrived in the area, they started organizing themselves to bring basic services to the community, and today at least 15 percent still hauling their own water.Hatramin'ny nahatongavan'ireo mponiny tao amin'ilay faritra, nanomboka nifandamina ry zareo mba hitondràna ireo filàna sy tolotra fototra andavanandro ho eo anivon'ny vondrom-piarahamoniny, ary amin'izao andro izao dia 15 isanjato raha kely no mbola mitaona/mantsaka ny rano sotroiny.
16There is no electricity and only 70 percent have drains.Tsy misy herinaratra ary 70 isanjato monja no manana fivoahan-drano maloto.
17Many neighborhoods or colonias [communities] in Mexico City are just as old and have all these amenities.Maro ireo vohitra mpiray vodirindrina na “colonias” [vondrom-piarahamonina] ao an-tanànan'i Meksikô no efa antitra sy manana ireo rehetra ireo.
18Luz also shares some alarming numbers:Luz dia nizara isa sasantsasany manaitra :
19Twenty-eight percent of the residents of Xochimilco live in extreme poverty.Miaina anaty fahantràna lalina ny valo ambiroapolo isanjaton'ny mponina ao Xochimilco.
20That's a third of the population and it seems quite serious to me.Ny ampahatelon'ny vahoaka izany, ary tahàka ny mampanahy ihany izany ho ahy.
21This might not seem so alarming, although I don't see how it couldn't be.Mety tsy dia hanaitra loatra angamba io, kanefa tsy hitako ny antony tsy haha-izay azy.
22For you to have a better idea, remember that 16 million people in Mexico live in substandard housing.Mba hahatakaranao azy tsara, tsarovy fa 16 tapitrisa amin'ireo olona ao Meksika no miaina aminà toeram-ponenana tsizarizary.
23That equals the estimated population of the Netherlands, Chile, or Ecuador.Mitovy amin'ny isan'ny mponina voavinavina ao Nederland, Shily, izany, na Ekoatora.
24It's the population of a whole country!Mponina eo amin'ny firenena iray manontolo io!
25Besides that, 7 out of 10 poor people live in the cities.Ankilan'izany, 7 amin'ny olona 10 mahantra no miaina any an-tanàn-dehibe.
26TECHO focuses on the most precarious settlements, organizing locals into “joint action” projects, which receive TECHO's help to generate solutions for overcoming poverty.Ireo vondrona tena marefo no ifantohan'ny TECHO, amin'ny fandrindràna ireo mponina any ho ao anatinà tetikasa “fiaraha-mientana”, izay mahazo ny fanohanan'ny TECHO mba hiteraka vahaolana handresena ny fahantràna.
27What are some examples of solutions?Inona ireo ohatra sasantsasany amin'ny vahaolana?

29The organization has also trained locals in various trades, and established schools for children in certain settlements where families endure especially dangerous conditions and the absence of at least one basic amenity.Fiofanana nomen'ilay fikambanana ho an'ireo olona ao an-toerana ihany koa ny resaka fandraharahana isan-karazany, ary nametraka sekoly any amin'ireo toby sasantsasany misy fianakaviana miatrika manokana toe-draharaha saropady sy tsy fisian'izay farafahakeliny enti-miaina hanoherana ny fahantràna.

31And that isn't the only award TECHO has received.Ary tsy io irery no loka fankasitrahana azon'ny TECHO.
32As Global Voices has reported in the past, Mexico is a country that not only faces poverty, but also social discrimination.Araka ny nitateran'ny Global Voices azy tany aloha, tsy hoe fotsiny firenena miatrika fahantràna i Meksika, fa koa miaina fanavakavahana ara-sosialy.
