Summary

This chapter describes the process of using photography with eight formerly street-connected boys residing at a long term transitional centre and accessing primary school education in Kenya. It provides an introduction to street-connectedness and explores the use of auto-photography (Ziller et al. 1981) and photo-elicitation in interviews, to foster conversation and develop rich narratives of their experiences of moving to stay at the centre and attending school. This is one small part of a larger doctoral study, which explores the experiences of Kenyan children and youth as they make the transition away from life on the street.
