In Kenya, where white-collar jobs seem increasingly elusive, young people are turning to content creation and photography to make a living. Leveraging technology, many are tapping into social media platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube to stay ahead. On Sundays, groups of young people can be seen gathering with cameras, dancing in coordinated moves before uploading their content to these platforms. With 35% of Kenya's population aged between 15 and 34, the United Nations estimates that 67% of this demographic is unemployed. For 22-year-old Vincent Otieno, content creation offers him and his group of six dancers from Nairobi's slums a crucial income stream. They earn money through tips from fans on TikTok and advertisements on YouTube, as well as performing at parties. On average, each group member makes around $120 per month. “We post on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube where we make around a hundred dollars in a month, which is better than nothing,” Otieno explains. The dynamic trio of 20-year-olds Angeline Muema, Trisha Pangie, and Cecilia Nyambura have been creating content on TikTok for a year. Angeline, still a college student, expresses doubts about finding a white-collar job after graduation. “It's better I do these videos and I get something than just staying idle and I am not getting something and at the end of the day, maybe I might graduate, yes, and I won't get a job. So, I better do these videos and I get something,” she says. Together, the trio makes $600 a month, interacting with fans who give them monetary gifts. Meanwhile, 25-year-old dancer Mark Maranga, who holds a degree in nursing and public health, turned to social media content creation after struggling to find a job. For him, the platform offers not only income but also a way to avoid social vices. “Instead of indulging in activities like stealing and robbery, but now it has helped most of the youths, they engage in this activities of dancing and now they have to get something. With the help of the money, the few cash they get, they can go and feed their families,” he says. This article was provided by The Associated Press.

Historic protests across Kenya in the past week have mobilised a disenfranchised youth enraged at the Government's attempt to raise taxes on the working class and poor to pay government debt to the IMF and other international creditors. The 2024 Finance Bill has sparked hatred at a political class who flaunt their opulent lifestyles while hiking the price of bread, cooking oil, and many other essentials.  Protesters refused to back down in the face of intense repression in which many people have been killed protest — with police using live ammunition and disappearing high profile figures in the protest.   This episode Chloe spoke with Ezra Otieno, a leading member of the Revolutionary Socialist League of Kenya about the protest movement in Kenya.

HCA Healthcare's Henrico Doctors' Hospital, the hospital where 28-year-old Irvo Otieno was first taken while he was in a mental health crisis days before his death, failed to give Otieno the emergency treatment he needed, according to an investigative report obtained by CBS 6.

What if plastic waste could power your car? In Kenya, one entrepreneur is turning plastic waste into fuel to power cars and all kinds of engines. The complex chemical structures that make plastic so tough and durable also make plastics difficult to break down–that's why they can take hundreds of years to decompose, if at all. Progreen Innovations Limited in Kenya is one of a growing number of companies that are converting plastic into liquid fuel. "We take it through a pyrolysis process and we end up with usable fuel, which is an alternative fuel for petrol and diesel engines," says James Muritu, the founder of the company. Pyrolysis involves heating the plastic at very high temperatures in the absence of oxygen, so combustion doesn't occur. The process results in combustible gases and biochar. Some of the gases are condensed into a liquid called bio or pyrolysis oil. Other by-products are captured and turned into biochar, which is used to fuel the furnace, according to Muritu. The United Nations Environment Programme estimated that only 12% of global plastic waste is incinerated and 9% is recycled. To solve part of this issue, at least locally, Muritu sources waste plastic from dumpsites or buys it from resellers. Muritu uses the liquid fuel to run the plastic shredder, power chainsaws, and even his own car. "The most carbon-effective way of dealing with plastic waste is not to produce plastic at all. So, we need to innovate to find alternatives to plastics. But while we have the plastics; the ones that we have already produced, we need to explore all options. And I think pyrolysis and low-tech locally produced processes like the one the innovator has come up with, should be encouraged," said Nickson Otieno, a local climate change expert and sustainability consultant. The majority of the toxic gases produced in the reaction are not released into the atmosphere but redirected back into the process, Otieno explains. Muritu isn't selling his fuel yet, as he has yet to secure approval from the Kenya Bureau of Standards. This article was provided by The Associated Press.

After a broad overview of the AIDS pandemic from the 1980s until today, including the issues of mortality and treatment, the conversation moves to Africa and Kenya. Alex discusses the early failure of Kenya to deal with the pandemic, and the rapid evolution of its response since the late 1990s, which has resulted in considerable success. Among the topics covered is the international aid that Kenya receives, the rise of circumcision among males in Kenya, and how the country lives with HIV-AIDS at the present, and both top-down and bottom-up responses to HIV.
