Series: Education struggles in South Sudan - Nyaboth, 6, holds her family stove that she carries to school to sit on during class. She says “There is nothing to sit on at school and as soon as I bring the stove home my mother needs it straight away for cooking”, she says with a smile. “The war brought me and my family here. I saw so many bad men with guns shooting people, I saw so many wounded. It made me very sad, it was so bad and it made me sad. I am very happy at school, my favourite subject is math. I live here in the POC with my mother and I feel safe.”

Savor the innocence some of you may still have. Treasure the pieces of yourself you found after they said you were broken. - Yagazie Emezi (at Monrovia, Liberia)

The Slums Of Liberia Spring To Life In These Animated GIFs

What makes an animated GIF so compelling isn’t just that it’s an image in motion; it’s that it’s cyclical. It loops, and anything caught within it becomes like a gear. In a way, what makes a GIF so satisfying is that its endless motion is almost like an elaboration upon the machinery of life.

This is the aspect of the animated GIF that French photographer François Beaurain explores in Monrovia Animated, a new series of looping images that explore life in the capitol of Liberia. In his GIFs, Beaurain juxtaposes the static dilapidation of the impoverished capitol with the colorful and repetitive energy of its citizens, turning them into “a piece of the conveyor belt that animates the city.”

In Liberia, less than 10% of the population has access to electricity. Women solar engineers are pioneering efforts to provide affordable and clean energy by installing and managing solar lamps in their communities.

Rural Liberian women, trained as solar engineers by Barefoot College in India, with support from UN Women, are promoting renewable solar energy that reduces dependency on expensive and polluting fossil fuels, like kerosene. The solar lamps are lighting villages and communities, enabling longer work and study hours, and bringing greater security to many, especially at night time.
