Double-edged sword that is child ‘entrepreneurs’ in estates

In my neighbourhood, with children not going to school, many have taken to doing small businesses. These businesses keep them occupied throughout the day. 

For instance, water scarcity is rampant in my neighbourhood. For tenants who are fortunate, property owners make sure tenants get water, via the ubiquitous blue water bowsers common in many Nairobi neighbourhoods. Other residents have to get their water from water vendors, who use handcarts to supply this precious commodity to their customers.
