Famille malgache

            Talatamaty (Madagascar) - J’ai croisé cette charmante jeune maman et ses enfants à proximité d’une station de taxis de brousse. Je marchais d’un pas volontairement lent en me disant que ce mur jaune et cette petite famille pourraient donner une photo intéressante. 
Arrivé à sa hauteur, je ne savais toujours pas si j’allais faire une photo. Il y des jours comme ça où malgré l’évidence, on a plus de mal à se motiver. D’autant qu’il faisait très chaud. La maman et sa « grande fille » m’ont offert un joli sourire. La photo s’est imposée. Mais avant, j’ai pris le temps de discuter avec le jeune mère. J’ai ainsi eu la confirmation que les quatre enfants étaient les siens. Il n’est pas rares à Madagascar que les jeunes filles soient mères d’un premier enfant à 13 ou 14 ans. Il n’y a pas de planning familial à Madagascar. Conséquence du poids de la religion.

Malagasy family

Talatamaty (Madagascar) - I met this charming young mother and her children near a bush taxi rank. I walked with a deliberately slow step, telling myself that this yellow wall and this little family could make for an interesting photo.
Arrived at its height, I still did not know if I was going to take a photo. There are days like this, it is more difficult to motivate yourself. Especially since it was very hot. The mom and her "big girl" gave me a pretty smile. The photo imposed itself. But first, I took the time to chat with the young mother. I thus had the confirmation that the four children were his. It is not uncommon in Madagascar for young girls to have their first child at 13 or 14 years old. There is no family planning in Madagascar. Not to mention the weight of religion.
