♪ host: welcome to"global 3000." today we meet a young woman driving a chocolate revolution in indonesia. we head to yemen to witness how the war there is affecting children. and we find out y undocumented immigrants in the u.s. are being deported, even those with a job and a family. many people dream of seeking a better future in the u.s. most arrive legally, but about 11 million immigrants in the

country are believed to be undocumented. they come from across the globe. in recent years, most have come from mexico, guatemala, el salvador, and honduras. they are fleeing gang crime, violence, and poverty. many are children, or mothers with their children. around 60% of undocumented immigrants have lived in the country for more than a decade. a third have at least one child who is a u.s. citizen by birth, and they own their home. reporter: rose escobar was living a fulfilled life in texas. she'd met the love of her life at the age of 14. later they found jobs and had a family. but one day, everything changed. rose's husband jose, who's from el salvador, was torn away from her and their two children. rose:"ok, rose, i need you to be strong." and i said, ok.

he goes,"they deported me last night. i didn't see it coming." reporter: jose was undocumented when he arrived in the u.s. as a young man. he never got into trouble with the authorities. when rose picks up her eight-year-old son walter from the school bus stop, he's proud to show her his work from class. rose: a-student. maybe pizza night? reporter: rose's neighbors are looking after her younger daughter, carmen. without their help, rose wouldn't be able to manage her job at a children's hospital. her husband jose is a carpenter, and thought their house would be a secure place for the family. but then young carmen saw her father taken away. at first she wasn't able to speak. now she's found her voice again. ♪

rose: did you finish your work? you're smart like your daddy. reporter: rose wants her children to remember jose as their father, and not as someone who's been deported. rose: he had been crying because there were tears on the floor. and jose goes,"i'm sorry," and i said,"what are you sorry for?," and he went like this. he was already chained. reporter: that was more than a year and a half ago. jose has been living in el salvador ever since. but he feels no connection with the country he left at the age of 15. rose still tries to keep him up to date on their family's day-to-day news. jose was already detained for being undocumented seven years ago, but he later released. the family's lawyers had no luck obtaining u.s. citizenship for him.

rose: it's different, because obama had a certain way of saying things that weren't hurtful. similar meaning, but not as hurtful. this president, the way he expresses himself, it's like we're not humans. we're just stuff that's here in the world for now. reporter: rose can't accept her husband's situation. she takes part in protests against president trump and his supporters. but since rose went public with her story, she's received a lot of hate mail. rose: it said,"dear miss escobar, how stupid are you to marry an illegal immigrant and allow him to put sperm in you so you can have his wetback

children. kill them and kill yourself. you're not american. you have nothing that's american in you." i couldn't read the rest. reporter: rose is trying to shield her children from this hatred. she wants them to live as normal a life as possible. to celebrate their birthdays, she buys them modest piñatas to save money for household bills. she wants to keep her family's dream alive. rose: we're here in the united states, the land of opportunity. people are coming here, for what, the american dream? that's all gone. lady liberty is probably just looking down, shaking her head. like, what happened to america? it's not the same. reporter: the whole family pray together every night for jose's return. walter: my mom really misses

him, my sister misses him, i miss him. so, lord, i really hope and cross my heart, please bring my dad home. in the mighty jesus' name we pray. we say amen. host: for 13 years, an ngo from washington, dc called the fund for peace has published an index rating countries for their social, political, and economic stability. things are particularly critical in south sudan, somalia, and yemen, where for the past three years saudi arabia and iran have been waging a proxy war. the result, an entire generation is growing up in desperate poverty. nearly two million children in yemen are unable to attend school. 1.8 million are malnourished, and of those, 400,000 are acutely malnourished and in urgent need of medical care.

farmers worldwide. their yield mainly goes to middlemen, who pass it on to exporters. the cocoa beans are then processed in factories. then the large chocolate-makers step in, the first to really make a considerable profit. they sell the chocolate to retailers, who collect around 40% of the total revenue. cocoa farmers, on the other hand, earn the least. but in indonesia, that's set to change. reporter: suitcase, laptop, boarding pass -- familiar companions for sabrina mustopo, who is constantly on the move for her work. she was born in indonesia, went to school singapore, and stied at a prestigious univsity in the u.s. t in 2013, she came back home to srt a cocoaompany. today she on her wafrom jakarta to sumatra. sabrina: i've always felt that i

had an opportuni to come back to do something for the country, so it was also the reason whi never gave up my indonesian citizenship even though i had the opportunity to. it's because i felt that there are so mh things that could be cidone in indosia.hough i had a t of potential, a lot of need as well at the same time. so that's kind of the reason why i me back. reportertoday she's siting some of the 200 farmers who supply her company with cocoa beans. she believes that building trust is cruci when it comes to creating lasting change. she's brought some of the company's latest chocolate creations to share with taufik hidayat. they're also discussing ways t improve production. he in the cotryside, en the mplest of things can be hard to come by. electricity only arrived last year, and as for internet, you can foet it. sabrina: the infrastructure is quite difficult, so it's not like you can just open your laptop and connect onto the internet and figure out all the -- you kno"my cocoa pods are

rning blac what ihappening? and you google that. obviously the farmers, they don't have that kind ofcap. reporter: that's why the entrepreneur and agricultural consultant is not only buying beans from these farmers, she's also training them. even though indonesia is the third-largest cocoa producer in the world, hardly any chocolate is proced here mustopo believes that indonesia shouldn't simply export alits cocoa beans, but should develop its own domestic chocolate industry. ufik hiday says thatin the ginning, hwas more tn a little sptical. taufikwhen sabne r the firstime and offered us betteprices than wh the other traders were offering, along with technical training, we could not stop laughing at this big-city girl but then we realized that she really was serious. reporter: mustopo now sells her bean-to-bachocolate oducts in s countries she heelf learned the trade

rfrom belgian chocolatiers andr then developed her own recipes in her parents' garage. her company now has more than 50 ployees. stopo belies that if indonesia wants to cease being a so-called developing country, the vernment mt invest me heavy in educaon and do better job at fighting corruption. shsays corption ishat hurts her company most when it comes to applying for various necessary permits. sabra: we haveo be realiic as wl in terms of where we play. corruption in indonea iss geing betterbut it's a sabrang-standinproblem.iic it's not going to be eradicated overnight. and i think you just have to be prtical about what you c and cannot do as a cpany and where yo values ar and be quite firm about those things. reporter: musto is off ther next appointment e says she office.ro so mubut she has no regrets about giving up her former job as a business consultant.
