This image depicts an outdoor scene in Ngalula, Democratic Republic of the Congo, characterized by reddish-brown, dry dirt ground and sparse vegetation under natural light. In the foreground, a young child is positioned prone on their stomach and knees, wearing an orange t-shirt and dark patterned shorts, reaching down toward a small blue and white object on the ground. Directly behind this child, three other young children are gathered: one child, wearing a brown t-shirt with "WILD WEST" text, sits on the ground leaning on one hand, facing left; another child kneels, wearing a grey graphic t-shirt and light trousers, holding a blue and white plastic bottle; and a third child sits with their back to the viewer, clad in an orange long-sleeved shirt. A fifth child is partially visible further left, obscured by the other children. Further in the background on the right, a sixth child is seated on the ground. The background features a gentle incline dotted with multiple rudimentary structures. These dwellings are constructed from earth or mud walls, with varied roofs including thatch and corrugated metal or blue tarp. One house on the far left is partially obscured by accumulated branches and foliage. A yellow jerrycan is visible near one of the houses, and a ladder leans against another. Trees with green foliage are scattered throughout the background, casting shadows across the scene.
