An odd contest for a better future

A group of young children are pictured playing outside during school hours.

These young ones aren't able to attend school anymore, as their families can no longer afford their school fees.

In Esiteti, we rely on selling livestock for income, and part of this income puts our children through school.

But lately, the area has been experiencing heavy drought, and as a result our livestock have either migrated to greener pastures, or left us due to deteriorating health.
