The Maasai Cricket Warriors from Laikipia Maasai in Kenya are using their love for the game to convey messages and awareness against social injustices in their community. They are actively campaigning against degenerating and destructive cultural practices such as FGM (Female Genital Mutilation) and early childhood marriages, which are vigorously donating to the spread and increase in the cases of HIV/AIDS. The warriors use cricket to empower girls and woman, target substance and alcohol abuse and strive to build peace amongst communities. (Photo by Francois Nel/Getty Images)
