EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in the history of Wa-Toto children in Dar es Salaam, East Africa, during the tumultuous period of World War I. Circa 1916, the children, dressed in simple clothing and barefoot, are seen saluting in unison, their young faces expressing a mix of curiosity, determination, and resilience. The backdrop of their huts, with thatched roofs and smoky chimneys, adds to the authenticity of the scene. During the early 1900s, Wa-Toto children, also known as the "street children" or "children of the streets," were a common sight in the bustling port city of Dar es Salaam. Many of them were orphans, abandoned or left to fend for themselves, while others were runaways or children of impoverished families. They would often beg, sell trinkets, or work odd jobs to survive. With the outbreak of World War I, the situation for these children became even more precarious. The war disrupted trade and commerce, leading to increased poverty and hardship. Moreover, the British colonial administration, which ruled Tanzania at the time, conscripted thousands of African laborers, including children, to work on the railways and other infrastructure projects to support the war effort. Despite the challenges, the Wa-Toto children continued to persevere, finding ways to survive and even thrive in the midst of adversity. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of their resilience and the indomitable spirit of children, even in the most difficult of circumstances.
