I've walked through parts of Kibera 3-4 times now. I find it to be a fascinating place in spite of it's dire poverty and filthy, crowded living conditions.
According to the UN, in sub-Saharan Africa, 72% of the urban population lives in slums with appalling health conditions and lack of access to basic services such as water and sanitation. This area has the highest rate of annual urban growth in the world. By 2030, it’s predicted that over half of Africans will live in cities.
The population density in Kibera is among the highest in the world.
According to the Saturday Nation (September 30), only 43% of Kenyans have proper sanitation
