African Childhood
It is estimated that around 100 million children in the world do not go to school. A fate that largely concerns African children who live in the poorest areas of the continent. Where schools are either too expensive or too far away. Where qualified teachers are lacking. And where children often stop going to school completely because they have to help their parents with their daily chores.
I worked in the fashion and publishing industry. The photographic genres I prefer are Street, Travel and Reportage, a photo contest for me is an opportunity for comparison, criticism and judgment by qualified people, an opportunity for growth. I was awarded at the World Water Day Photo Contest 2019, at the Trieste Photo Days 2020 and Italian competitions.

entry description
How to tell the life of African children? It is difficult to conceive of an existence made only of privations, and from birth. Four deprivations such as education, food, health, water. Rights that in Western countries are taken for granted, but in the poorest countries of the world this is not the case.It is estimated that around 100 million children in the world do not go to school.
