That Day He called me for the hook up, only to find him with other men in his house waiting for me

Cynthia Andati was born and raised in Mathare. She lived with her grandmother until the age of 13, after which she moved in with her mother. Life was difficult—at times, they lacked food and couldn’t afford school fees. She managed to complete primary school up to Class Eight, but her education came to a halt when she became pregnant. One day, a neighbor asked for help fetching water. Since her mother wasn’t home, Cynthia went to assist. When she delivered the water to his house, he took advantage of her. Afterward, he told her he would speak to her mother, but he never did. Three months later, Cynthia realized she hadn’t had her period. She took a test and discovered she was pregnant. Her mother was furious and insisted she terminate the pregnancy, but Cynthia refused. She confided in a teacher, who arranged for her to be taken to a children’s home. Her mother was unaware of her whereabouts—the teacher had told her Cynthia was attending counseling. For a while, whenever her mother wanted to see her, they would meet at a police station. Cynthia eventually returned home when her baby was three months old. Back home, life remained tough. Her mother was the sole provider, and the burden was heavy. Cynthia decided to return to her grandmother’s home. There, she met a young man, and two months into the relationship, she became pregnant again—while her firstborn was only about six months old. When she informed the boy, he denied responsibility. In desperation, she tried to pin the pregnancy on his cousin, but he too refused to take responsibility. Feeling hopeless, Cynthia ran away with her child. She contemplated leaving the baby at a police station. While sitting by the roadside, both she and the baby crying, an elderly man approached and offered her a job. That night, he made her sleep in the same bed and told her he wanted a wife. On one occasion, he even slept with his first wife in front of her. Deeply hurt, Cynthia packed her belongings and told him she wanted to leave. He became violent, beat her, and threatened her life. One evening, he sent her to buy supper. She took the opportunity to flee with her child. Later, she began bleeding and, fearing for her pregnancy, went to the hospital—only to learn she had miscarried. After treatment, she returned to her mother’s house, telling her she had been working as a house help but had been dismissed. Her mother gave her an M-Kopa phone. Cynthia joined social media platforms and came across a Facebook group where she was introduced to online sex work—posting provocative photos to attract clients. She met one such client who invited her over. After spending time with him, he paid her, and she used the money to buy essentials for her baby. Cynthia now shares her story—how she turned to online platforms to survive, and how, at one point, she entertained three clients in succession at an Airbnb.
