Commissioned by Drosos Foundation in 2015, I was asked to document the life of farmers in rural villages in ElMenia in order to report on a supported project working with those farmers to revive their feeling of belonging to and pride for their community. 

One village stood more significant than others to me, it is called ElDeyaba. It is one of the farthest villages in Minia. Due to its location, it lacks many basic facilities resulting in hight level of poverty and illiteracy. 

The supported project’s team has created a coherent community model within the larger community and it has developed strong personal and friendly ties with all the outreached families. The people I met are a true inspiration for all of those who value social impact, hard work and perseverance.
