Kenya's Bodaboda Riders: Balancing Livelihoods and Hygiene

In the bustling streets of Kenya, Bodaboda riders are a ubiquitous sight. Their tireless work ethic is undeniable, but their hygiene practices often go unnoticed. A recent video interview sheds light on this aspect of their lives. One rider, interviewed in the pouring rain, stated, "With the demands of my job, finding time to bathe is difficult." Another echoed this sentiment, adding, "Even if I found the time, the cold water is too much." This highlights the challenges faced by these essential workers, balancing their livelihoods with basic needs. Further research could explore the impact of these conditions on public health and the potential for interventions to improve sanitation access for Bodaboda drivers.
