"My top concern is daily sustenance for my family because they always look upon me for food. Housing has also been worrying me, so to pay rent on time and lastly debts because one of my friend owns me some money which I borrowed to boost my business so I want to pay him in installments. "

"My usual day starts at 6:00am when I wake up early in the morning. I prepare myself and take breakfast in a nearby kiosk before I embark on my work of collecting garbage in Mlango Kubwa village, in Mathare. I do my work until 1:00pm then I return back to my house. I take a shower and have lunch at a nearby kiosk. I then leave to where our group is located, where we have income generating activities such as selling water, laundry and barber shop where we work in shifts. I return back in the house at 9:00 pm and retire to bed. On Sundays I go to church and in my free time, I relax at home, watch movies, listen to music or visit friends."
