11. JOSEPHAT MUTHAMA-SITE SUPERVISOR
For a while, Josephat's Nairobi was a triangle. Dandora to Hillview in Spring Valley. Hillview to Kenyatta National Hospital. Kenyatta back to Hillview. Then home. He walked all of it. This was 2007 and he had just joined Securex. His daughter Winnie had cancer.

The treatment was expensive, and Josephat needed every shilling he could earn. So he walked it. Daily. In all conditions. He would report to work, leave for Kenyatta when it was time for Winnie's chemotherapy, then return to his post. The next day, he did it again. And again.

He never missed a day. Not even during the post-election violence when everything was crumbling around him with violence and death. Never missed a day. His bosses noticed. They noticed that Josephat kept showing up. They decided that perhaps a man who could be relied upon like that should not remain a guard. "And that's how I became a supervisor." Stationed out at a mall on Langata Road. "In fact I was part of the team that opened that mall."

Sixteen years later, he is still one.

But the promotion is not the part of the story Josephat dwells on.

Winnie had already beaten cancer once. Eight years of treatment, then the doctors said she was cancer-free. For seven years, the family got to be ordinary again. Then the cancer returned.

There was treatment. There was another possibility too: a child, but it was perilous, given her condition. Winnie chose the child. "She stopped the treatment, knowing what that choice might cost her. She wanted to become a mother."

She died after giving birth to Ivy.

Ivy is now eleven. She is bubbly, cheerful, and outgoing. "I see my daughter in my granddaughter." He has three other children and two other grandchildren. He is 56 now. More than twenty-one years at Securex.

10. DAVIS KHATERA - CONTROL ROOM SUPERVISOR
The first time Davis looked at the control-room monitor, the entire screen was red. Every client. Every zone. Blinking the same alarm colour at once. It was intimidating. He looked at one of the controllers: How do you manage all this?

The answer became his first lesson: understand how the system works, learn how each client is configured, and only then can you tell "what is of priority and what is not of priority."

Davis had been learning, in his own way, how to make sense of difficult situations long before he entered the control room.

"My father died in a road accident when I was two."

They had been living in Nairobi. His mother had to return to school, so Davis went to live with his maternal grandmother in Lugari. His grandmother was old. His mother was away studying. He became "very cheeky and very stubborn." His grades went south.

Then, in Standard Six, a new school told him he would have to repeat Standard Five. By the end of that term, he was number three. He kept going. By KCPE, he had scored 400.

"I knew education was the only thing that could help me."

It is why he is particular about his daughter's education. She is in Grade Two. His wife is doing her diploma.

"The big burden, especially for single mothers, is in terms of bringing up their children... If you are left alone as a person, you go through a lot of challenges, especially if you're not properly empowered."

He knows what happens when a father is suddenly no longer there. It would take becoming a father himself to understand what it means to be there.

"I have come to understand that word after I got my daughter."

9. CHARLES KARIUKI NDERITU- SENIOR OPERATIONS MANAGER
It’s the waiting that can get to you.

For seven years, he watched people arrive, become his bosses, then leave. “I trained some of them. They wouldn’t be able to sort out clients, leaving it to me. Then they would go.” He'd do the work. Someone else would take the glory. Not that he had Buddhist patience. It stung. Oh, it stung. And that’s the strange thing about patience; from the outside it looks exactly like standing still. But he stayed anyway because, "I believed Securex believed in promotion from within. I believed one day, one time, I will get another chance."

Then, in 2012, his turn came.

Today, Charles is one of the people who decide where guards are deployed. He joined Securex 19 years ago as a guard. There were just over 400 guards then. Today there are six thousand, and Charles has had a hand in placing many of them. He’s one of the people who decide where guards are deployed, matching a guard to the right assignment, a tricky endeavour. "What works in a factory cannot work in hospitality. You have to know the person before you post them."

He’s also been building a family; a father of three girls. That’s another set of balls in the air. "Boys only need soap. Girls need budgeting. Lotions. Hairdressing." His girls have all finished higher education, the first one is married with a child, making him a grandfather. His proudest moments aren’t anything to do with work, incidentally. “My daughters have started their lives without a loan or debt to pay. They will start their lives as people with no burden.”

He’s unburdened himself.

8. CORNEL NGOME-MARKETING TECHNOLOGY & BRAND EXECUTIVE

I think I am a narcissist.

Actually, I know I am a narcissist. Ask my exes. They will probably form a committee.

But I don't think narcissism is necessarily a bad thing. Mine, at least, is still under control. At work, I keep it in a box. I come in, do my work, listen to my soul music when the day is terrible and go home. I am not trying to make everyone else's day about me. That's progress.

I am 25. Turning 26 in September. I am in my pre-prime. My prime comes later, when I check my payslip and see very many zeros. Not zeros floating around by themselves. There must be a figure in front, though. Maybe one. Maybe more. Ideally, an infinity sign.

That is freedom to me. Being able to walk into a shop, pick something up and not look at the price tag. Or being able to come home and find my wife exhausted from a night shift and say, "Don't cook. Get dressed. I know a place." I want that kind of life. I don't want to give someone's daughter the bare minimum.

I already have a woman, actually. I saw her at church once. There were hundreds of people, but everyone else looked grayscale. She was the only colour. My hue. I watched her for three weeks before I approached her. I was also coming out of a breakup, so apparently my brain thought this was the perfect time to start plotting again.

I like being weird. I am confident in my weirdness. I think everyone should be.

I studied software engineering but somehow ended up in digital marketing. I haven't cheated on software engineering, though. It is still my baby. I still develop things. I have discovered I can do voiceovers too, which I am very good at, especially at 2 a.m. when my voice is raspy.

I think I can do anything.

7. SILAS MUKOTO-SECURITY OFFICER

Some security guards take off their uniform before they get home. Not because it's dirty. But because they don't want the neighbours to know they're security guards.

He shakes his head at that. "I'm proud of this job." There is no shame in honest work, he says. Shame, however, is working for years and believing this is all you'll ever be. “I don’t see being a guard as something I am but something I have to do to get to another station in life.”

He credits Securex's former Chief Trainer, Daniel Kinyanjui, with planting that seed. “He told us on the first day that we don't have to spend the rest of our lives being guards. We can become more.” And to be more, he does more. After his shift ends at 6:30pm, he goes home. To freshen up, maybe have some tea.

By seven he's at the Mlolongo weighbridge where trailer drivers know him by name. He knows them, too. They buy socks. Towels. Small things they need before getting back on the road. The profit isn't dramatic. But it's enough to stop him dipping into his savings whenever the month develops unexpected appetites. It's the difference between borrowing from shylocks and sleeping peacefully. He rather likes his sleep uninterrupted.

"I used to struggle paying bills before. Now I don't. This little money I make selling these merchandise goes a long way in taking care of the small bills around the house.”

By ten he's back home to be a husband again. And a father. His three children are eight, four and two. The next morning he’ll put the uniform back on and go be a guard before he can be what he wants to be.

One day he'd like to study criminology. He is working and saving and he will also sell a cow in the village. For now the salary keeps the lights on. The socks make sure they stay on.

6. PHELGONA AWINO- SECURITY OFFICER

Sometimes the finish line isn't a ribbon stretched across a road. It's a small house in the village. And she's been running towards it for most of her life.

She was born into a sprawling polygamous family where scarcity was common. Her father didn't work. Her mother brewed busaa to keep the family afloat. The police would regularly carry her away, leaving the children behind with empty stomachs and no idea when she'd return.

"I was used to hunger."

She made it through school, escaped to Nairobi and landed in Kariobangi, where surviving was another high-wire act. Then a job came. A man also came.

The job paid little. The man promised more.

"We got two children, a boy and a girl."

For a brief moment, life looked like it might loosen its grip.

5. HARGREAVES ONYANGO-SECURITY OFFICER

He still remembers the Land Cruiser. Black. New. The windows were thick, probably bulletproof. He was twenty-four, working the main gate at a shopping mall in Nairobi, one hand holding the inspection mirror he used to search underneath vehicles, the other asking politely for permission to open the boot. Security protocol. Always ask first.

The driver nodded.

There was a little boy in the back seat. Four, maybe five years old. The little man asked what he was doing to their boot.

"He's just doing his job," the father said, not really looking at Hargreaves.

Then the father looked at the young guard.

"These are losers. If you don't work hard in school, you'll end up like them."

"Those words shocked me. I didn't know someone could look at me and see a loser."

"I had missed university by a single point. My father had just retired, and he had younger siblings to think of."

He wanted to answer back.

Instead, he searched the boot. Closed it. "Welcome to the mall, sir."

The man never acknowledged him.

Then he spent the next fourteen years answering that man without ever seeing him again. First by helping educate his siblings before himself. Then by marrying, raising three boys, and saving enough to choose between starting a business or going back to school. He chose school. Enrolling for a degree in education. Working full-time. Studying full-time. Raising a family full-time. Some days he wanted to quit all three. "I wanted to run away."

Today he's a qualified teacher. He has already completed his teaching internship. Soon, he may leave Securex for a classroom.

Sometimes he wonders what he'd say if he ever met that man in the Land Cruiser again.

Not much, as it turns out.

"Maybe thank him."

Because not every insult breaks you.

Some insults quietly become your education.
