Picking up the pieces of a shattered life

Nairobi, Kenya: Daniel Mutuku's hand healed amazingly well in the last five months. But the smile on his face cannot mask the pain that he has been going through since he miraculously survived a terrorist bombing in March this year.

Five months ago, Mutuku made Sh20,000 as the manager of Sheraton Hotel in the heart of Eastleigh, Nairobi. After the attack on March 31, Mutuku has been struggling to make ends meet and support his family as a labourer outside the premises of the now renovated building.
