|Kigali, Rwanda –– In the darkness of the Kigali night, Eric walks through a maze of cement homes crowned in corrugated metal. Using his phone he lights the road under his feet, a path of compressed red earth still drying out from the rainy season.

Staying more than one night is too risky. Tomorrow he’ll move again.
