It seems almost a shame to love a photograph of such poverty and squalor, but great photographs like this can hopefully bring attention to the plight of people living on the fine line of survival.
If I have one criticism it is that the composition seems lacking a bit in dynamism, it might have looked interesting cropped square.
Dunno, I rather like the way she is dwarfed in all that rusting iron- but by no means lost.
Plight? I think this photo is about anything but plight. Poignant contrast between the vibrancy of the daughter and the withdrawn, shadowed mother though.

I like it, especially the inclusion of the water in front the "house"
