Description

Kibera is one of the largest informal settlements or slums in Africa, located in Nairobi, Kenya. It spans an area of approximately 2.5 square kilometers and is home to an estimated population of anywhere between 200,000 to 1 million people, although precise numbers are difficult to ascertain due to its informal nature. Despite its challenges, Kibera is a vibrant community with its own economy, social structures, and cultural life. Residents often live in overcrowded conditions with limited access to basic services such as clean water, sanitation, healthcare, and education. Many people in Kibera live in informal housing structures made of mud, corrugated iron sheets, and other makeshift materials. However, despite these challenges, Kibera is also a place of resilience, creativity, and community spirit. Residents often engage in various entrepreneurial activities to make a living, and there are numerous community-based organizations and initiatives working to improve living conditions and provide essential services. Tourism in Kibera has become a way for visitors to gain insight into the realities of urban poverty and to support community-driven initiatives. Guided tours typically offer visitors the opportunity to learn about daily life in the slum, visit local businesses and projects, and engage with residents to gain a better understanding of their experiences and challenges.
