COVID-19 has really changed the lives of many people in Kenya. Most of those who live in Kibera Slum either do not have a job or earn a little money through selling vegetables, making clothes, or doing casual labor jobs. Unlike the United States and other first world countries, Kenya does not have a government system to support its people. Thus, forcing those who are already in poverty to act in extreme measures such as stealing and prostituting in order to provide food for their family. "We have been giving such big necessities: rice, beans, wheat flour, maize flour,
cooking oil, and soap." said Dan. Since Kenya is still in a quarantine, they are not able to work to earn money for food. Children are also not in school, which is where most children eat their one meal a day. Families just can not afford to feed their own children. Families are going hungry, even more so than before.
