Kenyan tech workers hold a sad gathering to remember a coworker and fight for better job conditions.

Technology workers in Kenya are sad about their coworker, Ladi, who passed away. They held a special gathering to remember her and talk about what happened.

Ladi worked for TikTok, but she couldn't go back home to Nigeria for two years. Her friends said she was very tired and really wanted to see her family.

Some people who work in the same industry as Ladi say their jobs are very hard. They say they don't get paid well, work long hours, and don't get help when they feel stressed.

Ladi's friends said she couldn't go home because she didn't have the right papers. They also said many other people from Nigeria have the same problem.

Ladi's family in Nigeria is very sad, but they don't have enough money to bring her body home. They might ask her church in Kenya to bury her instead.
