One out of five Congolese children die before their fifth birthday. That's 240 survivors out of 300 children may make to their teenage years.
In a rural Congolese villages, visitors with a camera bring about half of those survivors or 120 children. The other half, most girls are off doing chores.
Half of population of Congo is below the age of 15 years old. Girls and boys are evenly split. But, most of my pictures are filled with boys instead of girls.
It's a cultural thing.
