Samuel Onyango, 12, sits in his home in the slum of Korgocho, close to the Dandora rubbish dumpsite

Samuel Onyango, 12, sits in his home in the slum of Korgocho, close to the Dandora rubbish dumpsite in the capital Nairobi, Kenya, February 18, 2018. During school holidays, Samuel works with his mother Benta in the dumpsite of Dandora, sorting all day long through trash that can be sold for recycling. On a good day he makes about one hundred Kenyan shillings for his family, the equivalent of less than one Euro. What he makes is used to feed his six brother and sisters. Dandora is the main dumpsite of Nairobi and one of Africa's largest unregulated garbage dump site – receiving more than 2,000 metric tonnes of waste everyday.
