A Nigerian photographer has started a movement against using children to beg for alms on the street after encountering some beautiful kids in the South-south part of Nigeria.
One of the child-beggars
This child-beggar has just became an internet sensation after a photographer captured her and her sister in Calabar, Cross River while they were begging.
It is not clear if the kids are Nigerians but they have attracted the massive sympathy of social media users.
