In the absence of a social security or welfare system, Kenyans who fall on hard times must find creative ways of making a living.
In rural areas the traditional extended family might find work for a blind relative, but in cities such as Nairobi, Kenya, where

sidewalk venue. Note one of the instruments is an empty soda bottle. The small speaker amplifies the band on a busy city street.
