In the semi arid parts of Rajasthan, India, humans are always faced with a struggle for survival when the basic necessity like water is not available most of the time.
this little girl who should be studying or playing with friends is fetching heavy buckets of water to her house from a common water tank which is often a centre for fights over water.
The water is contaminated, but this is all they have. and it is mostly a woman, or a girl child's job to bring water from a far distance to her house.
This photo was taken in late evening and no editing has been done.
