How miners, fishers are taking life out of Lake Victoria
Twenty meters under the ground, lit only by the torches strapped to their heads, a group of eight men are seeking their fortune.
The cramped tunnels have been hewn out of the bare rock using hammers, chisels, bare hands and many days of their own toil.
The goal: to strike it lucky by finding a rich seam of gold-containing minerals that will transform their lives.

The video also reveals the results of an analysis study done by CEJAD in partnership with IPEN on lead in solvent-based paints in Kenya in the year 2017.
