Surviving. Being resourceful (Photographer: Prasant Mohanty)

Surviving. Being resourceful

August 31, 2011 —

“A woman  salvages burnt utensils from the remains of what used to be her house until last evening. On the evening of the 2nd of March, a fire that broke out in the slums on the eastern side of Bandra Station (Mumbai) spread to 500 households and by next daybreak all house were leveled to the ground. The women here had nothing left except for the clothes that they wore; yet they dutifully set out that morning to rebuild their lives and that of their families.” Submitted by Prasant Mohanty.
