gallery

R. (Female, 20Yrs Old)

My name is R. I'm 20. Today I took photos of the houses, of the children who don't eat properly and of people going to look for food. We are poor and I ask for a small capital to buy and sell some things, products, and things like that.

P. (Male, 14Yrs Old)

My name is P. I'm 14 years old. Today I took photos of the houses, of the people, the old people. I've shown how the people are badly dressed and badly nourished and the houses they live in. I took pictures of people looking for work, transporting wood. I also took pictures to show we have no drinking water. My message is a message of help. To have clothes, clean drinking water, materials to build houses with. That's what we ask for.

E. (Male, 15Yrs Old)

Today I took photos of houses made of hay and the pots we use to go and look for food in other villages with. I also took photos of the forest. My message is that we want to go to school, we don't have a school and also we don't have any clothes or food, that's what we look for. My name is E. and I'm 15 years old.

C. (Female, 16Yrs Old)

My name is C. I'm 16 years old. I took photos whilst I was drinking water, bad water. I also took photos whilst I was looking for bad drinking water. I took photos of children whilst they were leaving. I also took photos of people sitting by the houses made of hay and eating in them. My message is that I'd like to ask for food, clothes and to be able to go to school.

A. (Female, 16Yrs Old)

My name is A. and I'm 16 years old. Today I took photos of the houses made of hay and mud. I also took photos of people whilst they were making pottery and of people transporting water. My message is that I'd like some clothes to go school in and also food because we don't get given food in school.
