An unprecedented photo report dedicated to children around the world

Calcutta, India

  • Calcutta, India

    With over 14 million residents, Calcutta ranks as the third most populous metropolitan area in India. As a growing city in a developing country, it faces issues such as substantial urban pollution, traffic congestion, poverty, and overpopulation. In south Calcutta, the Model school educates underprivileged children from the Kalighat and Lock Gate districts. Their journeys to school start in the street or along railroad tracks. No matter what daily hardships the families endure, the children are always immaculately dressed for their walk to school.
