The image shows a group of people in a desert-like area. There are several women and children in the image, all wearing traditional African clothing. The women are wearing black burqas and headscarves, while the children are wearing colorful dresses.

In the foreground, there is a young boy wearing a green t-shirt and holding a yellow plastic container. He is standing in front of the woman, who is wearing a blue headscarf. Behind them, there are several other people, some of whom are also wearing colorful headdresses. The sky is overcast and the ground is dry and barren. The overall mood of the image is one of poverty and hardship.
