Children orphaned by AIDS and aged between 11 and 18, living in Mozambique’s capital, Maputo, were given cameras to document their lives. Irenio, 18, took this photo of his brother looking outside their home. Irenio and his 16-year-old sister Saquina have headed their family since March, when they lost their mother to AIDS.  Photo: BBC See more pictures
