Fulani girl in village in Niger, West Africa


This is Dicko. She is nine years old. Dressed in her brightest, finest clothing, made-up, and wearing the hallmark silver coin jewelry of the Fulani of Niger, Dicko readies herself to walk the five or so miles from her village to the town of Torodi. In torodi, she will sell the fruit of the karey tree that she worked so hard to gather the past week.
