I grew up in the slum, where we struggled through abject poverty. My mum, my siblings and I lived in a single room for many years. Probably, I would still be there today, were it not for my curiosity that drove me to visit friends in other parts of Nairobi.
I was impressed by the hygiene and how things looked clean and orderly outside the ghetto. This stirred me up and challenged me to change my life. I can actually trace the journey of my life to a single decision to change that I made many years ago.
