THE WOMEN OF PHIRILONGWE

“In 2016, I discovered Malawi, this small country in Southern Africa that has been independent since 1964. In the mountains of Phirilongwe, a difficult region to reach, live families who struggle to survive because most of them do not have access to drinking water. Women of all ages have to collect water drop by drop, for long hours.”

“My images reveal, without prejudice, the authentic face of the women of Phirilongwe. Here, harmony is sacred, unity and mutual support are guarantees of survival.”
