Ask about a waiver. Many publishers waive or reduce the fee for authors at institutions in lower income countries, often using the Research4Life country lists: a full waiver for one group of countries and a discount for another. The journal's fees page says what it offers.

Ask before you submit. Read the journal's waiver policy for when a request has to be made.
