Emily Night, a mother of two who works at the parish’s HIV counselling centre, says the pope’s visit is giving hope to Kangemi residents who often cannot afford garbage pickup, or even the treatments necessary to purify water to make it safe for drinking.
She says the city pipes in water only three days a week, Tuesday through Thursday, but it’s not safe to drink.
“Some people don’t have toilets in their homes,” she says as she waits for Francis to arrive.
She adds: “Those that do, maybe 50 people are using it!”
