The human body is not for sale, yet in some parts of Kenya, it is being traded for a pittance.
In a disturbing trend, vulnerable young men, often from impoverished communities in western Kenya, are being lured into a sinister trade: selling their kidneys for as little as $1,000 (Sh130,000), along with the promise of a motorbike or other items. This is not a transaction; it’s a form of modern slavery, and it’s happening right in our backyard.
