    The women in Lahachowk don’t have direct employment which leaves them in charge feeding the animals such as goats, cows and buffalos. Each morning at sunrise the women leave their homes to cut grass and return after their families are awake to cook them breakfast. by: hetahannaloviisa Views[636] Many families in the village struggle with money and cant afford their children’s education which often forces the husbands to leave to foreign countries to earn more money. This leaves the women alone with the animals, farm and children for months at a time. by: hetahannaloviisa Views[476] Grandma Phy is an orphan, single, homeless, has mental sickness and leads a vagrant life with only her bicycle.

The role of nature and people’s responsibility towards it is still unclear it seems in many parts of southern India. This river runs along the edge of Saraguru and while it is revered (a temple can be seen in the middle of the river) and valued for its role in agricultural irrigation and domestic uses, certain practices such as washing clothes along the bank introduces soaps and toxins into the water. This is affecting some of the fish populations and degrading the health of the ecosystem. Without the proper infrastructure to change those practices though, it is a hard battle to fight. by: jbatryn Views[790] Grandma Phy is an orphan, single, homeless, has mental sickness and leads a vagrant life with only her bicycle.

    Assomada market (Santiago island) is often the necessary stop for the alouguers on their way to Tarrafal. Washbowls full of fish, the big fish often just lay in the road surface.

    Many women in Uganda ( like the one pictured here) are creating a hopeful future for their children by making and selling necklaces to pay for a better education. Women make less than $10 a month and a good education can cost up to $350 a year. Women in this village have a partnership with a US based charity called BOH to help sell their products in the USA. The program is empowering women to sustain a business that not only supports their children's education but supports their needs as a family. by: audreyjeane Views[715] The Women’s Vocational Training; Repairing Sewing Machines, is the only all female project aimed at encouraging young women to participate productively in their communities through vocational trainings, capacity building workshops and empowerment activities.

Men do the heavy machinery and building work, while women carry the construction materials (sand, bricks and stones). While these women may look slim and weak, due to years of hard work, they have incredible physical strength. by: isabelp Views[1302] Courage by: ozasia Views[294] Chinese Opera by: ozasia Views[423]

That all changed though when I pulled my DSLR out of my bag resulting in them breaking out into fits of hysterical laughter. by: ray Views[605] While checking out the hand pump who would come along but a couple of women and a child. They told us they were very happy because they didn't have to walk 7km's each day just to get water. Instead it was only a couple of minutes walk. They weren't too keen on getting their photo taken until they discovered we were the ones who got the well organised. by: sharoncrean Views[332]
