Kibera
Kibera is thought to be the largest slum in East Africa and the second largest slum in all of Africa (after Soweto, South Africa).
Throughout the developing world, the impoverished are moving from rural areas into the city in the hopes of finding more work, food, and peace. The fast migration into urban suburbs leads to chaotic growth, especially considering that those who make this journey are often the poorest of the poor.
They live in desperate, dense conditions. Kibera lacks a sewer system, water pipes, and trash pick-up or processing. Imagine! Somewhere about a million people on less than 1 mile square, and it has no two floor stuctures.
