This week, my program moved from Nairobi to the city of Kisumu in Western Kenya. The city is next to Lake Victoria and has a large fish industry. Most of the fish taken from the Lake are tilapia or Nile Perch and the filets are sent to Europe and the United States.
Despite having a large fishing industry, Kisumu is facing a high unemployment rate. As a result of the lack of jobs combined with frequent teacher strikes (thus preventing students from attending primary/secondary school in the Kenyan System) they resort to giving motorcycle rides for transportation.
