This picture shows children from Kawangware slum who have the chance to come to Hope Academy and receive an education. There is a wall that separates the school from the rest of the slum but the truth is, its the lack of resources that really separates them. There are so many children who wander the slum each day in search of food, water and money. Chances are they will never have the opportunity to get an education that could be the difference between them ever being able to get out of the slum or not. In Kenya, only two in five children will ever attend school. Only three in every 50 men will complete the sixth grade.
