Eighty-two-year-old James Kumuyu (R) joi

Eighty-two-year-old James Kumuyu (R) joins in song and prayer other members of a senior citizens support group during their weekly meeting where they discuss the earnings of a community charcoal and animal feed store they manage as a group, neighborhood issues and other social matters that pertain to their elderly people support group in the upgraded slum of Ngendo in the outskirts of Nairobi on October 4, 2010. The group numbers some 50 members who share responsibilities among the group, like tending to their shop, visiting sick elders, running group errands and organizing community activities. A member of the group said that the group's activities are very important to them because is "binds" them. For the most part, the elderly of the group lack the support of a traditional family structure and are on their own when it comes to making a living and paying for their medical bills.
