Kibera Slum

Did you know that in the slums of Nairobi, Kenya…
There are over 1 million people crammed into a one square mile area in the Kibera slum, and Kibera is only 1 of over 100 slum areas in Nairobi, Kenya.

Over 50% of the Kibera population is children under 15 years of age
The average size shack is 12ft x 12ft built with mud walls or iron sheets and houses as many as 10 residents
Roughly 80% of Kibera residents have no electricity
One latrine (hole in the ground) is shared by up to 50 shacks
At any one time roughly 50% of girls age 16 to 25 are pregnant

Sanitation is arguably the biggest problem facing residents of this slums. Valley slum. Lack of appropriate facilities practically cripples its inhabitants, and severely disrupts daily activities. Any visitor to the slum is overwhelmed by the sights and smells of the community, and not in a good way.

Kibera Mathare Slum

There is no formal garbage collection or disposal system in the slum. As an “informal settlement”, there is no formal anything in the slum, with the entire area appearing as blank space on official maps. The lack of garbage collection means that the ground is layered in garbage, of all kinds. It piles alongside the main road, into the river, and becomes a feeding ground for goats, chickens, and stray dogs. Aside from the obvious and serious health concerns, the odor quickly becomes unbearable in the hot sun.

Support us to support them to restore their health!
