It is a country where you can see vast wealth and poverty - all in a short time. But the challenges in Kenya are significant. In 2020, 3.5 million Kenyans were living on less than $1.90 a day. Child labor and bribery are major cultural issues. Even though there have been major advances in the health sector, there still is a large portion of the population without access to clean water.
Kenya is the economic and transport hub of East Africa. Agriculture remains the backbone of the Kenyan economy, contributing 25% of their GDP. About 80% of Kenya's population of roughly 42 million work at least part-time in the agricultural sector.
