"My most troubling worry is always about health issues since at times I do fell sick and whenever I am sick am unable to look for money or go after my hustles.
I also do worry about unemployment since my water vending business depends on availability of water and due to water rationing at times I may be jobless for even three weeks.
I am also usually worried about the insecurity in my local area or Mathare since most youths usually engage in crime and indiscriminate killings by police officers is in the rise. "
