Beryl Omunya, VoicesofAfrica mobile reporter in Nairobi, Kenya
Owing to the high cost of food prices experienced in most parts of Kenya Nairobi's Kibera residents have come up with a way of curbing the situation. They plant vegetables like Kale commonly known as sukuma wiki, spinach and spring onions.
They are provided with seedlings and fertilizer by a group known as solidarity. They are then expected to water and take care of the vegetables. The vegetables take a maximum of two weeks to grow. They use them for their consumption and sell to others who do not do the farming at a cheaper price.
This video is part of the Voices of Africa project. The mobile reports in this project are made by reporters under training and reflect their respective progress.
