Kenyans from the Nubian community continue to live on the margins of society, blocked from acquiring national identity cards and other vital documents necessary to work officially, go to school and even vote.
"Our community does not put money in commercial banks because of a lack of identification cards. Personally, I don’t even have a bank account," 23 year-old footballer Ashiff Obwaka explains, adding that he does not have a birth certificate or an identification card.
