  • Nairobi, August 02, 2019 - Reuben Kenyanya (51), a conductor, poses inside a Matatu at the Nairobi Railways Bus Station. Bus conductors are called Makangas in Kenya. The job is tough, he says. He works long hours and doesn't sleep much. There are also many clashes with corrupt police officers and rude passengers. Reuben works in an old, rundown bus on the line between the city centre and the slum of Kibera. Most people in Kibera can´t afford the flashy, tuned Matatus with fancy entertainment and Wifi on board. The Matatus feed many people, including the conductors, the owners and Sacco managers, but also police officers, cartels and city councils. And the national transport authorities also demand money for the routes. The Makangas earn as much as is left after deducting the payment of all these people. "We do this work mainly because of our children", he says with a serene look on his face.

  • This is story is reported by 20 years old Nancy Auma: I was 17 years and was abducted by the LRA when I  was 6 months pregnant, That day, the LRA rebels failed to abduct other children and they blamed it on me that my pregnancy was their bad luck and that I should be killed. 3 rebels with knives and razor blades started cutting off my ears, my nose and my lips. I was beaten; they kicked my stomach and left me with a wrapped paper with my ears, nose and lips to take it to the government soldiers. I was taken to the hospital and got treated. But I lost my dignity, even the father of my child rejected me because I was so deformed. In 2008, staff of African Youth Initiative Network came to my home and told me they got support from UN Trust Fund for Victims (TFV) and they are assisting people who got injuries due to LRA crimes. They brought me to the hospital where I received lips reconstructions. That was the first time I saw something good happened to me.
