How much can KSh 1,000 really buy in Kenya today? In this radio feature, Saliamo Naibei, a Media and Communications student at Eldoret Technical Training Institute currently attached to the Eldoret Media Hub, examines how the rising cost of living is reshaping the daily lives of ordinary Kenyans.
From food and transport to rent, electricity and school expenses, families are increasingly being forced to stretch their budgets, prioritise essential needs and make difficult financial choices. Through everyday experiences, market sounds and personal accounts, the documentary explores the gap between household incomes and the cost of meeting basic needs.
Going beyond economic statistics, the feature brings the human impact of rising prices into focus, revealing how parents, students, workers and small business owners navigate mounting financial pressures.
As the cost of living continues to challenge households, one question remains: is KSh 1,000 still enough to get through the day?
