The shadows of Mundari,South Sudan

In the Mundari tribe, children over the age of 7 are forced to work in inhumane conditions in order to eat. These children are most often orphans purchased from other cattle camps. There is a lack of water, medicine, children do not go to school. Very often they wash themselves with the urine of cows and eat their burnt excrement.
