NOTE from Sudan Watch Editor: There are many wicked people in the world who should never be hired as carers to take care of the daily needs and social care of children and/or adults who are vulnerable, infirm, disabled.
I once heard a Darfuri woman in a refugee camp saying she has eight children so at least one might survive to take care of her in her old age.
Here is a copy of a tweet by BBC News Africa (@BBCAfrica) Aug 7, 2023 with a link to a full version of the video of their undercover investigation into some African care homes in Nairobi, Kenya. It says:
Across Africa, the elderly have traditionally been cared for by their families. Now, with life expectancy increasing, many Africans are turning to care homes for help...but are the elderly getting the care they need? #BBCAfricaEye goes undercover to investigate. ⬇️

Here are some excerpts from a description posted at the video:
"BBC Africa Eye goes undercover to investigate allegations of mistreatment, theft and neglect inside a Kenyan care home for the elderly.
Undercover reporters gathered evidence of mistreatment and neglect of vulnerable residents at an elderly care home near Nairobi, Kenya’s capital. Secret filming shows staff members physically mistreating residents and dumping unplated food on tables, leaving struggling residents to feed themselves. Medical conditions were also left untreated.
Africa Eye reporter Njeri Mwangi investigates the dark side of elderly care in Kenya.
