Kibera slum is one of the largest slums in Africa. Kibera is roughly 1.5 - 2 square miles and has a population over one million people. The average size of the homes are 10 feet by 10 feet, Almost all the buildings are built with no building regulations and on average 5 people live in each home. Basic infrastructure such as electricity, clean water, toilet facility or sewage disposal is minimal and it is estimated that there is one pit latrine for every 50 – 500 people. In the pictures, you see plastic bags all over the floor, these are known as "flying toilets" where residents go to toilet in the bags and then throw them out on the street.

Food, clean water, medical attention, toilets and work are hard to come by and trash, disease and human waste abound in Kibera.

Half of Kibera’s population are children under 15 years of age. Appallingly, many children who are born in Kibera die in Kibera only knowing the harsh life of the slum. The children themselves are very vulnerable and face peril every day from the brutal conditions of the slum. Not only do they battle starvation, malnutrition and diseases, but they also face dangers from other people in the slum such as exploitation, substance abuse, physical sexual and mental abuse, gang violence but to name a few. Every day is one big struggle to survive, knowing that each day they live may be their last.
