‘’After finishing my form 4, I had a problem with my intestine and I had to be operated on. I stayed in a comma for almost 3 months but by good luck, I survived. Not long enough I impregnated a girl who was a student in form 3 and her parents forced me to stay with her and that’s how I started a family. Getting food and paying the rent became very tricky for me so I had to go back to stay with my parents here in Kibera. After a while, my mum and my wife did not get along so I had to shift. I have been looking for a job so that I can sustain both my wife and my kid and still have not gotten one, the ones available is that of mjengo (construction) and according to my current situation, I can't lift heavy things because my body is still very weak. My mum had to step in again and she is the one paying for my rent and food because I don't have a job and also I always get sick quite often.” #Operation #Pregnancy #Jobless #Family
