    The Wallstreet Journal did a really good podcast interviewing Kenyans who worked for Sama on this particular engagement. Most of them said it affected their lives deeply, one said his wife almost left him as he just “wasn’t the person she’d married”. I think she ended up coming back after he quit at least, but yeesh. Another said he pulled away from his young daughter after reading prompts about child sexual abuse. Can you imagine that level of mental health hit?
