A Malawian child catches raindrops during a brief downpour in Ngozi village near the capital Lilongwe, February 2, 2016. Late rains in Malawi threaten the staple maize crop and have pushed prices to record highs. About 14 million people face hunger in Southern Africa because of a drought exacerbated by an El Nino weather pattern, according to the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP).

23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful image captured by photographer Mike Hutchings, a young Malawian child is seen reaching out to catch raindrops during a brief downpour in Ngozi village near the capital Lilongwe. The date of the photograph is February 2,2016. However, behind the innocence and beauty of this moment lies a harsh reality. Late rains in Malawi have posed a serious threat to the staple maize crop, pushing prices to record highs. This has resulted in immense hardship for millions of people across Southern Africa who are already facing hunger due to a severe drought worsened by an El Nino weather pattern. According to the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP), approximately 14 million individuals are currently at risk of starvation as they struggle with food scarcity caused by these adverse climatic conditions. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the devastating impact that climate change can have on vulnerable communities. It highlights not only the resilience and resourcefulness displayed by this young child as they attempt to capture precious rainwater but also sheds light on their daily struggle for survival amidst such challenging circumstances. Through his lens, Hutchings captures both hope and despair within one frame, urging us all to take action towards addressing climate change and its consequences before it's too late.
