A street vendor in Eastleigh, a neighbourhood in Kenya’s capital, Nairobi, increasingly populated by refugees and migrants. Fuelled by remittances and foreign investment from the Somali diaspora, Easlteigh’s booming businesses range from real estate to clothing, electronic goods and khat, a psychotropic herb popular in East Africa. While mostly taking place in multi-floor malls, trade spills over into the neighbourhood’s busy streets. Photo by @hubert_hayaud. Text by @flaviehalais
