Synopsis

The book ‘Challenges & Reality’ is a new collection of images from photojournalist Maher Attar. Educate a Child, a global programme of Education Above All (Qatar), commissioned the book, which features photography of out of school children from around the world. The striking collection of photos showcases children attempting to pursue an education in the midst of poverty, conflict and the aftermath of natural disasters. The book follows in the tradition of ‘The Cradle of Inequality”, photographer Sebastio Salgado and writer/poet Cristovam Buarque’s groundbreaking collection of photos published in 2013. ‘Challenges and Reality’ revisits many of the locations captured in Salgado and Buarque’s work, showing the progress—or in some cases, the lack thereof—made towards improving education for the world’s poorest and most marginalised children since the adoption of the Millennium Development Goals in 2000. ‘We are proud of this important new work, which shines a light on the conditions in which children in desperate conditions are striving to realise their right to a primary education’, said Marcio Barbosa, CEO of Education Above All. Mr. Attar hopes that his new collection will help put a face on the issue of out of school children. ‘My work with Educate a Child has taken me to schools all over the world. Everywhere I go, I’m struck by the resilience of these children and their teachers, even in the direst of circumstances’, said Mr. Attar. ‘If they can achieve so much in the face of great adversity, imagine how far these children could go with the right resources. I hope my book opens the world’s eyes to the needs of these children and spurs real action on the issue of universal primary education.’
