Caption submitted with photo: “Being a photographer, the best way i can communicate is through images. There are many children struggling with poverty and i believe the best way to address this is by capturing images that show the actual situation, images that speak for themselves. Whenever i come across a child facing poverty, i capture the images of the real situation, and collect the child’s details hoping that some day their situation might change through the images that i captured. I captured this image of a young boy on a hot afternoon in Kitui county, Kenya, as he took shelter under the shed where he helps his mother sell fruits by the roadside, whenever he’s not in school.”

1st Runner Up
Congratulations to our 1st runner up Isaac Makinya!
Caption submitted with the photo: “This photo was taken during a training camp for young scouts in Machakos County. The camp was attended by boy scouts and girls scouts from different institutions. The objective of the training was to impact useful skills and educate the young people to become responsible citizens who will be useful to their local, national and international communities. It was also to build them physically, emotionally, intellectually, spiritually and socially and thus contribute to good character. Among the areas of focus were entrepreneurial skills, leadership skills, environmental conservation, health education and self development. The scouts were also guided on how to come up with project ideas and use the locally available materials to implement them. Impacting skills and knowledge to these young people helps them to become self reliant and also be able to deal with situations in their societies. I am a volunteer scout leader and I organise for many such trainings in different schools in Nairobi and this has taken place for 4 years now and from this we have been able to get young men and women who have been able to stand by themselves and have brought solutions to their communities.”

Congratulations to our 1st runner-up Soud Juma!
Caption submitted with the photo: “So far this was such a remarkable experience since as a photographer it was my first time shooting at a childrens home. What moved me the most is that despite the daily life struggles that the children go through they had this beaming smiles all over their faces and very welcoming.”
