Victoria

‘Something special about Nairobi is the people. I love the people of Nairobi. One thing I dislike about Nairobi is that there are barely spaces for children to play’, says Victoria behind the wheel of her van, driving from one birthday party to the next. Five years earlier, she set up a helium balloon business in the Kenyan capital to surround herself with joy and find safety after escaping an abusive relationship. In the colourful bouncy castles she erects and in the children’s laughter that fill them up, she finds healing and new strength.
