Kakamega, Kenya: Teachers in a school in Kakamega County wear uniform while some of the pupils walk barefoot. The locals watch the teachers in open amazement.

Shamta Academy, which is located in Maraba Estate, a few kilometres from the town centre, is enclosed and the entrance is restricted to a few members of a church, making it difficult for anyone else, including journalists to access it.
