A 24-year-old German lady named Leni has defied all odds to find love with a 23-year-old Kenyan man, Vinn, in the slum of Kenya.
Leni was in Kenya as part of an internship program and initially stayed in the Korokocho slum.
However, within the first week of her stay in Kenya, fate brought her in contact with Vinn who lived in a neighbouring slum of Kibera.
Their meeting happened at a local dance performance in Korokocho.
Vinn, a talented dancer, caught Leni’s eye while performing on stage. Leni’s energy and enthusiasm captivated Vinn, prompting him to approach her after the show.
After a brief exchange, Leni and Vinn exchanged Instagram handles, marking the beginning of their relationship.
Vinn, reflecting on the challenges they faced, admitted that introducing Leni to his poor living conditions in a tiny room serving as a kitchen, bedroom, and living room without basic amenities was initially daunting for him.
However, Vinn expressed his surprise at Leni’s willingness to live with him despite his poor living conditions.
“Chase love not material things, it is the most important thing in the world,” Leni said.
