Collective Lens: Photography for Social Change

Lagos is reported to have the largest number of street children in Nigeria. The untidy appearance of these children shows a clear picture of the ordeals they pass through. Most of these kids leave home because of the maltreatment they get from their guardians/parents and in some cases, they are sent out to 'hustle' for money; most of them are the bread winners of the family and as such they engage into several activities like hawking different wares on the streets and begging for alms to sustain themselves and their families.
