Concern has been rising after two sisters were spotted selling milk by the roadside at night in Kibera Kianda, Nairobi.
On March 12, 2026, a video showing them braving heavy rain went viral, capturing the attention and sympathy of many Kenyans online.
The sisters were seen working hard to sell their milk, despite being outdoors without any shelter from the rain.
In the footage, five large jerricans filled with fresh milk were lined up along the roadside.
While four jerricans remained full, one was almost empty, suggesting they had sold some of their product.
Their determination was evident as they took turns standing in the rain.
While one sister stood outside trying to attract customers, the other would seek shelter in a nearby shop, switching places to make sure no potential customer passed by unnoticed.
This approach seemed routine for them, showing their commitment to making sales.
The older sister was dressed in a skirt and jacket, while her younger sister wore a jacket with a hood to shield herself from the downpour.
Nearby, a woman selling vegetables appeared to be familiar with the sisters’ efforts, indicating that this scene might be common in the area.
Social media users reacted strongly to the video.
Many expressed empathy for the sisters, with some urging local residents to support them by purchasing their milk.
There were concerns that if the sisters took the unsold milk home, it could spoil, leading to even greater difficulties for them. One commenter emphasized the quality of the milk, urging others to buy it to prevent waste.
