- Meet Kenya's 'Blind Tailor', Charles Kibe Mwangi, who has amazed his customers and community with his exceptional tailoring skills for years despite being blind.
After losing his sight, Mwangi, 48, has used a broomstick as a powerful symbol of his resilience, helping him navigate through his beloved craft in Nairobi.
The familiar hum-and-click of a sewing machine invites you into a small tailoring shop within a cluster of buildings standing cheek by jowl in Umoja 2 Estate, east of Nairobi's central business district.
There, Charles Kibe Mwangi's fingers move with practised precision across a swathe of fabric. His hands are guided not by sight but by 34 years of muscle memory and an unconventional tool – a simple broomstick tucked behind his left ear.
"I don't see myself ever going to the streets to beg," he says. "I believe in my craft; it's what feeds me and my family. I will keep working, and if anyone feels moved to help, they ca...
