Ghanaian teenagers who contracted polio and lost their walking ability, play soccer in Tudu district of Accra, Ghana on May 14, 2017. Teenagers who maintain their lives by begging for money on the traffic roads in Ghana, gather to play soccer with their skateboards every sunday. Poliomyelitis is a highly contagious disease caused by a virus that attacks the nervous system and spinal cord. Children younger than 5 years old are more likely to contract the virus than any other group and it is still endemic, along with West and Central Africa.
