Hamidah, 6, (Left) and her two sisters Fatemah, 12, and Halemah, 9, are collecting water from a hand-pump situated on ground level a few hundred's meters from the cave where they live with their family since seven years, during a cold winter morning in Bamyan, central Afghanistan, an area mostly populated by Hazaras. A historically persecuted minority (15%) due to more lenient Islamic faith and characteristic 'Eastern' lineaments, Hazaras constitute the 70% of Bamyan's population.
