Today we offer to pay for her to take a shower from the public facility to understand the economic dynamics of paying or showering from the house. To take a warm shower you will pay fifteen shillings, for a cold shower ten shillings, five shillings to access the toilet for a short call, and ten shillings for a long call of nature. A few meters to the North of Mathare, Kosovo, lies the second public sanitation block run by a women group. Our houses are small and ‘self-confused’ forcing us to rely on the fifteen bob shower at the facility. So the delicate balance prevails on whether one will pay to take a shower or will fend for his family, after all, a missed day’s bath won’t hurt.
