Every weekday, as the morning rush begins and traffic picks up along the busy stretch of road outside Kiambu National Polytechnic, a group of young individuals in reflective vests take their positions with stop signs in hand.
Their task of helping students cross the road may seem simple to passersby, but for these crossing guards, it's much more than that.
It's a source of employment, empowerment, and purpose.
Located along a heavily trafficked route in Kiambu County, Kiambu National Polytechnic hosts over a thousand students daily.
