Future families - Hope, a Community Health Worker

Image by DFID - UK Department for International Development
Hope works for a UK aid supported family planning clinic, Banja La Mtsogolo which means "Future Families." She was originally a client at the clinic and then became a Community Health Worker.

"My advice is that many more women should have access so they can help with the development of our country. When women have family planning they are able to have a small scale business, they can operate freely and have a lot of time to concentrate on the affairs of their children, and money for their school fees."

"I have one daughter myself, Grace. My hopes for my daughter are that she has a bright future. She can depend on herself and become a doctor or a nurse."

Family planning allows more women to take on professional careers, helping themselves and their families to work their way out of poverty.

Background

On 11 July 2012 the UK Government and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation will host a groundbreaking summit to cut in half the current number of women and girls in the world’s poorest countries without access to contraception, but who wish to avoid pregnancy or space their children.

Every woman and girl deserves the opportunity to to determine her own future. Contraceptives give the world's poorest women the power to decide if and when to have another child.

Truly A Gift

WE HAD JUST ENDED THE SHOOT AND WAS ON OUR WAY BACK TO THE CAR...
When Brittany's sister-in-law pointed out a small Christmas tree sitting off to the side of the room. It was beautiful, the colors complementing Brittany's Maternity Gown just perfectly. We made a bee dance to the tree. I quickly set the remote flash unit to 1/4th its normal power and passed it to her brother-in-law, instructing to him to simply hold it by his side facing her (Security had attacked me earlier for having TOO PROFESSIONAL of GEAR). I positioned her next to the tree, allowing her to take a natural pose of her own. Framing her in the shot, I ensured it had the correct focus and pressed the shutter closed. FLASH! The flash went of in sync, giving light to the image you see before you. Being this was my first Maternity Shoot, I honestly believe it was TRULY A GIFT.

PLEASE LEAVE A WRITTEN COMMENT AS WELL AS AWARDS. AND AS ALWAYS, DON'T FORGET TO FAVE!!
