Malawi orphans with grandmother

Add to Cart Add to Lightbox Download

Hilda Simon prepares her granddaughter Chrissy, 8, for school in Dickson, a village in southern Malawi. Beside Chrissy is her sister Annie, 10, and her brother Love, 13. All are orphans, and were taken in by their grandmother when their parents died four years ago. Many African villages like this have been hard hit by disease, including HIV and AIDS, leaving children to be cared for by relatives. Yet this village has also been hard hit by drought in recent years, leading to chronic food insecurity, especially during the "hunger season," when farmers are waiting for the harvest.
