For over 10 days, the Brand couple accompanied the lives of the young mothers and their children at CASA MANTAY. Hans-Dieter Brand as a long-time hobby photographer behind the camera and Karin Brand primarily for the connection to the protagonists next to the camera.

Statement Karin and Hans-Dieter Brand:
The fates of the young mothers were very moving. One of the women was only 14 years old and already had her three-year-old daughter on her lap when we photographed her. But we were particularly touched by the positive things that are being done there in a future-oriented manner for these young mothers and their children – in an atmosphere full of warmth that gives the women the courage to accept their fate and move towards a self-determined life. Hence the title of the exhibition:
„DAR ESPERANZA – Hope for Young Mothers“.
