"AN UNCERTAIN FUTURE"


7 of 13

Daisy Ngcobo's children prepare her dinner in their government issued cinder block hut as the sun sets in a township outside of Pietermeritzburg, South Africa. Daisy's younger daughters now pull all of the weight around the house as Daisy has become to weak from AIDS to do anything. Situations like Daisy's are kept very quiet in the townships because of the stigma surrounding HIV/AIDS in the Zulu culture.
