EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, captured by the talented photographer Folco Quilici in 1977, transports us to a small village in Somalia. The image showcases a fresh water well nestled near a humble school building, serving as a lifeline for the local community. In this poignant snapshot of daily life, we witness the profound significance of access to clean water in an arid region plagued by scarcity. The well stands tall and proud against the backdrop of vast sandy plains, symbolizing hope and resilience amidst adversity. Its presence is not only vital for quenching thirst but also represents progress and development within this remote corner of Somalia. The juxtaposition between the well and the nearby school evokes thoughts on education's transformative power when coupled with basic necessities like water. It serves as a reminder that knowledge flourishes where essential resources are readily available. Children flock around this precious source of hydration, their smiles reflecting gratitude for its existence. Quilici's masterful composition captures both human connection and nature's beauty effortlessly. His lens immortalizes this scene with remarkable clarity; every droplet cascading from buckets held by eager hands can almost be felt through his artistry. As we gaze upon this timeless print from Alinari, our hearts are filled with admiration for those who tirelessly work towards improving lives in such communities worldwide. This photograph encapsulates humanity's collective responsibility to ensure that everyone has access to one of life's most fundamental needs: clean water. Ultimately, Quilici reminds us that even amid challenging circumstances, there is always room for hope and progress – embodied here by an unassuming well standing proudly beside a modest schoolhouse in Somalia.
