Childhood poverty and food insecurity are significant issues in Madagascar. According to UNICEF, around 44% of children under the age of 5 in Madagascar suffer from malnutrition, and the country has one of the highest rates of childhood malnutrition in the world. Poverty and food insecurity disproportionately affect children.
Poverty in Madagascar can have a range of negative impacts on children, including poor health, limited access to education, and a lack of opportunities to reach their full potential.

I'm a passionate photographer hailing from the picturesque landscapes of Bulgaria. My lens is my tool for storytelling, and I specialize in capturing the beauty of the world through three distinct lenses: landscapes, underwater realms, and the untamed wildlife. I find inspiration in the diverse natural beauty that surrounds me, from the rugged mountains to the serene underwater worlds and the incredible biodiversity of wildlife.
Through my photography, I aspire to do more than just capture moments; I aim to create change.
