Children Left Behind

"This is a series of portraits of AIDS orphans and those who care for them in places along the Beira Corridor, Mozambique.

One of the most distressing impacts of the HIV/AIDS epidemic is its effect on the lives of children who are left parentless, often at very young ages. In some cases, relatives or family friends take them into their homes, but in others, they are left to fend for themselves in orphan-headed households.

I chose to take these pictures in a panoramic format to highlight the crowded circumstances in which these children live, yet the lonely spaces that surround them." - Gideon Mendel
