The skate park was built in 2013 by the NGO Skate-Aid, and more than a hundred children from the surrounding area attend the skatepark every week. There is a limited amount of pads, helmets and skateboards at the park so the kids have to share. / AFP PHOTO / Fredrick Lerneryd

Freedom on Wheels: A Glimpse into the Joy of Skateboarding in Nairobi's Shangilia Skatepark
In this photo, a young boy proudly holds onto his donated skateboard at the Shangilia skatepark in Nairobi, Kenya. The park, built by NGO Skate-Aid in 2013, has become a haven for over 100 children from the surrounding area who flock to it every week to ride and play.
Despite limited resources, with only a few pads, helmets, and skateboards available for sharing among the kids, their enthusiasm and passion for skateboarding shine through. This image captures the essence of freedom and joy that comes with discovering one's own unique talents and interests.
As seen here, even in challenging environments like urban Africa, sports can bring people together and provide an escape from daily struggles. The Shangilia skatepark is more than just a recreational space – it's a symbol of hope and empowerment for these young individuals who find solace in the thrill of riding their boards.
This photograph by Fredrick Lerneryd (Agence France-Presse) offers a glimpse into the vibrant world of Kenyan youth culture and highlights the transformative power of sports to uplift communities.
