Hunger
"We know what hunger is. We’re used to feeling it up to two, three times a day. But between this mundane, common, repetitive as well as constantly satisfied hunger and the desperate hunger of those who are unable to satiate it there’s a rift as wide as the world itself." – "Hunger", Martín Caparrós
"This is what happens in the human world. In the world we have created.” – Mallence Bart-Williams

In Niger, 1 in 3 adolescent girls aged 15 to 19 have already given birth or are pregnant. A large proportion of their children die in the first weeks, months or years of life. The reason for this is extreme malnutrition and poor access to appropriate medical assistance.
All photos in this project were taken during visiting Maradi region in Niger with UNICEF Poland.
