Village and Mountains in the Tsaranoro Massif, central Madagascar

---

A small child leans against the walls of his house in a tiny village in the Tsaranoro Massif, central Madagascar. The Granite Mountains behind are a major attraction for climbers and trekkers from all over the world, who generally stay in nearby Camp Catta. The Camp is a joint enterprise run by a French charitable organization and Madagascan enthusiasts. As well as providing food and lodging for tourists the Camp is a great benefactor to the local rural economy and has built a school and medical centre in what is otherwise an extremely poor area.
