Summary
In a lockdown period when schools and churches were closed, and travel restricted, the struggling families found it tougher surviving the harsh economic conditions.
Not knowing where and when to get the next meal tormented them, but food donations from the United Nations’ World Food Programme (WFP), non-profit organisations, the government and well-wishers kept them alive and kicking.
At the height of the pandemic, the government also issued a Sh2,000 stipend to slum dwellers in Nairobi.
