In Jos, Nigeria, a young boy stands in a reddish-brown, dusty outdoor area. He is wearing a purple, patterned shirt with a lighter purple jacket draped over it, and grey trousers tucked into grey boots. The boy is positioned in front of a textured, light brown wall made of what appears to be adobe or mud plaster, and to his left, a wall constructed of rectangular, light-colored bricks.
