By then, he was already two years late; the normal age for Kenyans to acquire an ID is 18 years old.<\/p>\n<p>Despite joining the college using his birth certificate as identification, he was unable to sit his exams without a national identity card. He was forced to drop out and lost the sponsorship he received from a well-wisher.<\/p>\n<p>Losing the scholarship devastated him, but it was just the beginning of his lack of ID challenge.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe biggest challenge was not having proper documentation to get a job. Every time I would say I\u2019m a Nubian a potential employer would think I\u2019m a foreigner and would decline to consider me for the job,\u201d Hassan said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy community has not yet been recognized in Kenya, and we are fighting so that the government can acknowledge there is a community known as Nubians.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nubians have lived in Kenya for over one-and-half century, ever since their ancestors, from a territory that is the current Sudan, were brought to East Africa as a regiment of the British colonial armed forces.<\/p>\n<p>While a 2019 government census data estimates the Nubian population to be about 21,000, others estimate there could be many more scattered in different parts of Kenya. In Nairobi, the largest population of Nubians live in Kibra, one of the largest informal settlements in Africa, where they were settled by the British.<\/p>\n<p>Despite being in Kenya even before the country got independence in 1964, the Nubian community is still not recognized as one of the country\u2019s official tribes. Lack of recognition has meant they face discriminatory hurdles when seeking legal identification documents such as birth certificates, IDs, and even death certificates.<\/p>\n<p>They also face lengthy and costly procedures, which include vetting by a panel of government officials and security agents, that make it hard for many to get their citizenship documentation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNubians are only allowed to apply for IDs on Tuesdays and Thursdays, which means that if you are held up on those two days of the week you won\u2019t be considered any other day. This is very limiting,\u201d said Hassan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is also vetting by government officials and security agents. It is very intimidating and subjective. It makes one wonder if getting an ID is worth the struggle.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For Hassan and other Nubians in Kenya, a lack of legal identification means that they cannot get jobs, secure government services, access educational institutions, or even obtain a bank or mobile money account.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI used to keep my money under the mattress, which was risky,\u201d Hassan said, recalling a time when he ran a potato fries business.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_157035\" style=\"width: 860px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-157035\" class=\"wp-image-157035\" src=\"https:\/\/namati.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Clip0061T01-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"850\" height=\"478\" srcset=\"https:\/\/namati.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Clip0061T01-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/namati.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Clip0061T01-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/namati.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Clip0061T01-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/namati.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Clip0061T01-711x400.jpg 711w, https:\/\/namati.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Clip0061T01-450x253.jpg 450w, https:\/\/namati.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Clip0061T01-533x300.jpg 533w, https:\/\/namati.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Clip0061T01.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-157035\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hassan sits in an open field in Kibera, next to his cat named Prince.
