Description
Welcome to Kibera the largest slum in kenya and in Africa with vibrant and happy people
Kibera is a large informal settlement or slum located in Nairobi, Kenya. It is one of the largest urban slums in Africa and is known for its challenging living conditions, including overcrowding, limited access to basic amenities, and poverty.
Despite its challenges, Kibera is a vibrant community with a rich culture and strong sense of resilience. Efforts have been made by both local and international organizations to improve living conditions and provide opportunities for its residents.
The homes are 9 foot x 9 foot, tin or mud brick shacks with no floors, no running water, and the electrical wiring is all done by themselves, so house fires are prevalent and the homes flood when it rains. Families of up to ten people can all live in one home. Most people living in the slums earn less than $1/$2 USD per day. Unemployment is high & HIV infection is at around 12%.
