Ex-Health Journalist Nasibo Kabale Now Homeless and Living on the Streets

Award-winning journalist Nasibo Kabale has found herself living on the streets after battling depression.

Kabale, who was once among the journalists covering the Covid-19 pandemic, now hopes to recover and reunite with her daughter. She previously worked as a health journalist at Nation Media Group.

In a video circulating on social media, Nasibo opens up about the hardships she has faced while living on the streets.

“How is life on the streets?” the interviewer asked.

Nasibo replied, “It’s very hard living on the streets. The guy I’m staying with treats me how he wants because he thinks I have nothing. He provides everything, so he treats me however he wants. If I had another option, I would have left.”

She went on to express her deepest sorrow: “The fact that sina mtoto wangu (I do not have my child).”

When asked what she misses the most, she responded, “Independence—being able to go wherever you want and treat yourself. Now, because of a lack of financial independence, someone treats you how they want.”

Regarding her income, she shared, “I work Mondays and Fridays (collecting plastics and metals). I have learned a lot while doing so. I’ve lost weight, but other than that, I am okay. Luckily, I haven’t contracted pneumonia despite the cold.”

Nasibo is a graduate of the University of Central Missouri and holds a bachelor’s degree in Communication and Media Studies from Kenya Methodist University. She is currently living on the streets of Kibera.
