3:35 pm
the point to is shutting off its reputation of silence and thanks to risen, becoming a beacon of hope for many. oh boy is adamant at lunch. it creates genuine opportunities with kind of freaking use in the country with growing sort of food here and not just promoting poverty porn. i grew up here and for the fall guy to challenge it also grew up in this neighbor. so we don't look at this as sort of the same, but then as us showing people our neighborhood and we have, our goal is to build bridges and creates and understanding on what the hell is. and we consider that to be at the opposite of what provides the point is. jalen j has welcome over 25000 visitors since 2012, and has high hopes for the future. and high hopes for the future is exactly what our next story shows. 10 years ago, a 1000 candice shillings that's about $6.00. could easily get me
3:36 pm
a month's shopping. now the same amount with barely get me enough shopping for 2 weeks. the cost of living has gone so high that young they will be and have decided the city is no longer going to break that. so then moving away from the city and closer to the food source, let's follow it is to money and find out where the v spline worked. on a cold morning and the outskirts of ne ruby laptops, not to the apartment but friends, melody 10 i got. and move to the share the 3 creative onto printouts take the time to catch up as we prepare breakfast. and of course, they record the experience for social media. just over a year ago, the 20 something year old chose to relocate outside the capital as a way to save money in dispute this week is kills. however, the country we simply doubled the tax and fuel increased health insurance and
3:37 pm
introduced to housing levy. these changes have through the house switch plans, of course, and now they're making some tough decisions. when we get like a really good, good, we get really good income. we shuffle many things in bulk. so that's a decision we had made in advance schools where like things like oil we be cheap but to just invest now buying bulk and have it for months. the cost of electricity clean up. uh maybe would be the same rent medical of are you having discussions amounts itself is a 100 um notice comes up you say like okay, it may be cheaper. it's else looks too quite fun and things are going higher. so maybe it's just a bit of a bone size and move back to my ruby. so that's been on the list. so it's something we actually planning to do, hopefully this month or next month. as the increased cost of living is also affecting the interactions with $1.00 another, obviously when people are living together as you are as a family and running a business as well, that can usually be some tension because of money. has that happened to you guys?
3:38 pm
yeah. but at the end of the day, we learned how to communicate. i can't express how we've got and that's a better space. that's communicating whether be a fight, seeing whether it's at work, whether someone has done something wrong. we've gotten to a place where i can have a discussion about each and the points it wants to make. one of us wants to move with the next month. the financial pressure for young people in the country is being felt beyond this apartment, latest government, because we view the highest number of those unemployed in kenya between 20 to 24 years old. for those, it's limited options. and to government protests have become a critical way to get the voices hud for tgm eliza. however, the response to the toughening economic times has been to get tough for the couple of photographer and may come out just having to dig deeper to keep the business afloat. has that changed or you having to put

3:40 pm
how things are in the economy. yes, a lot of the things are just when is we, you know, just thinking about how you have to save you money and moving around. now you really don't want to look at the luxury things and say, oh, i'm going to go do this and then come back home and worry about rental you bought food. cuz obviously the money is not enough to do both at times. and even when it comes down to things like equipment, you know, all the heavy tech solutions and stuff that's been going on being around buchanan is making it so hard to bring insights cause you end up paying a crazy crazy what fee. and on top of what you're paying for the gates of which you, most people know that photography. and again, this is extremely expensive. so it's been spent, most of the couple has now decided to go into retail opening an online shop that sells jewelry. as a we to supplement that income for them, waiting for government or things to get easy. it is not an option. right? for you again, bye. so that we have it,
