Sacrificed for a president. 18 months have passed since the post-election violence in Kenya. More then 1300 people were murdered and over 350 000 had to leave their homes. Many of them stay in camps living in tents, depending on well-wishers, NGO:s and donors. Most displaced persons origin from the Kikuyu tribe.

Or as they call themselves, The forgotten people...
