Jonathan Torgovnik

A charity, Foundation Rwanda, was founded as a result. In 2014, Torgovnik returned to Rwanda. In 2015 he documented the lives of migrants who have moved, many of them illegally, to South Africa from other African countries such as Tanzania, Zimbabwe and Malawi.

Torgovnik was born in 1969 in Tel Aviv, Israel. In 2006 he was commissioned by Newsweek to document the effects of twenty-five years of AIDS in Africa. While in Rwanda, he met Tutsi women who had been victims of systematic rape during the Rwandan genocide in 1994, many of whom had contracted AIDS, and many of whom had children fathered by the rapists. His photographs of these women were published in Stern and in the Daily Telegraph magazine in 2007. In the same year, one of them, a portrait of "Joseline Ingabire with her daughter Leah Batamuliza, Rwanda", won the Photographic Portrait Prize of the National Portrait Gallery in London. The photographs were published as a book, Intended Consequences: Rwandan Children Born of Rape, in 2009. In 2012 they won Torgovnik the Prix Découverte, the highest prize at the annual Rencontres d'Arles photography festival in Arles, in Provence in southern France.
