PROJECTS: The Hinterland: sertao_03_20150622sertao0545

Campo Alegre de Lourdes, Brazil. Saturday, Nov. 14, 2015.
A young portrait of Severiana Maria de Jesus, 75, and Pedro Jesus dos Santos, 89, hangs on the wall of their brick home, in their homestead near Campo Alegre de Lourdes, in the state of Bahia, on Wednesday, July 22, 2015. Senhor Pedro's father built their three-room home from mud and sunbaked bricks. \
Severiana and Pedro, subsistence farmers, face a daily struggle. Their only source of water is a pond. They were not aware of the federal water program that delivers potable water for free. The cycle of poverty that exists for nearly 1/3 of the regional population is a major social inequality issue in which poor families stay impoverished for generations.
