Kibera (Nubian: Forest or Jungle) is a division of Nairobi Area, Kenya, and neighbourhood of the city of Nairobi, 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) from the city centre. Kibera is the largest slum in Nairobi, and the largest urban slum in Africa. The 2009 Kenya Population and Housing Census reports Kibera's population as 170,070, contrary to previous estimates of one or two million people. Other sources suggest the total Kibera population may be 500,000 to well over 1,000,000 depending on which slums are included in defining Kibera.
Most of Kibera slum residents live in extreme poverty, earning less than $1.00 per day. Unemployment rates are high. Persons living with HIV in the slum are many, as are AIDS cases. Cases of assault and rape are common. There are few schools, and most people cannot afford an education for their children. Clean water is scarce and therefore diseases caused by related poor hygiene are prevalent. A great majority of people living in the slum lack access to medical care.

The first story from our new series, SLUMSCAPES, focuses on the residents of Kibera, Nairobi who are battling the construction of a new highway that is slated to slice through their community - bulldozing 10 schools, thousands of homes, churches, clinics and graveyards. Kibera is one of Africa's oldest, largest slums, located just five kilometres from Nairobi city centre, and home to more than 170,000 people. The battle highlights the precarious situation faced by slum dwellers globally. Many have no legal rights to the land they have occupied for decades, thwarting their efforts to invest in essential services, like education, to improve their lives.

A Girl's Life is one of five stories from the In Kibera project, sharing stories of life and hope from East Africa's largest slum Eunice Akoth is a fourth grade student at the Kibera School for Girls. She has a passion for poetry, an aptitude for math, and a love of the book Matilda by Roald Dahl. She has lived all her life in Kibera, and though she is only ten years old, she dreams of traveling the world, from New York to Melbourne, before returning to Kenya and becoming a doctor. Though she has been lucky enough to receive a free education, and is celebrated as an exceptionally bright student by her teachers, she also represents the far-too-common case of a girl who must overcome extreme obstacles in order to find a path out of poverty.
Harriet shares her story about growing up in Kibera, one of the world’s largest slums, and the community that instilled in her an unflinching belief that she can be anything she wants to be in the world. She goes on to challenge the audience to examine how they can help build a community of support for children of all backgrounds. Harriet Kamakil Brown works and studies at the University of Dayton. She moved to Dayton 10 years ago and attended Sinclair Community College and Wittenberg University. Having grown up in Kenya’s largest slum, Kibera, she is interested in working with and supporting disadvantaged youth especially in pursuit of an education.

Life for women in Kenya can be hard. For women living in one of the largest slums in the world, life can be devastating. With remarkable access to the inner areas of the Kibera slum in Nairobi, this film introduces just a few of the thousands of women, whose daily lives are blighted by poverty and serious human rights violations.
Most people migrate to the cities in the hope of finding work. But work is hard to find, and so renting a room in the slum is the nearest option. Kibera is one of Africa's largest slums. About a million people live in the slum which is only 3 square kilometers in area. Among them are children. For the many children in the slum, education offers their hope of a better future... so they desperately seek it.

After my time as a volunteer concluded I traveled through Tanzania to the island of Zanzibar. This video is a compilation of the memories I was able to record of my trip. Hope you all enjoy and for those who are in the video I hope to see you soon.
Want to mix urban play with outdoor adventure? Then Nairobi, Kenya's capital and largest city, is for you. Spot giraffes and zebras on safari, then browse the unique, handmade jewelry at the Kazuri Bead Company, and when the sun goes down, head back to the bustling Westlands neighborhood for drinks and dancing.

From Silanga on a pikipiki to the outskirts of Kibera, Nairobi, Kenya.
I've got a broken sky
Miles above
I talk to every night
It used to be the one to say it's all right
Now it's the setting sun
Every part of me is you
Can we make this black sky blue?
Well maybe I wouldn't be so broken-hearted
If you were still here with me
Love is just a disease
I'm taught about it
It only makes me cry
I walk these empty rooms
Half alive
And not the way I knew
Sometimes the silence seems so loud
I hear it in my dreams
Every part of me is you
Can we fill these empty rooms?
Maybe I wouldn't be so broken-hearted
If you were still here with me
Love is just a disease
I'm taught about it
It only makes me cry, ohhh...
Every part of me is you
Can we make this black sky blue?
Well maybe I wouldn't be so broken-hearted
If you were still here with me
Love is just a disease
I'm taught about it
It only makes me cry... oooh...
