Description
Kibera slum is located in Nairobi, about 6.6 kilometers (4.1 miles) from the City Centre.
We are a team of 4 local guides namely;
Erick, Samuel, Benta and Jack. We were all born, raised and still live in Kibera Community. We have first-hand insights into the authentic daily life in the Kibera neighborhood.
This tour enables our guests to learn more about the local community's way of life and the history of Kibera slum. The income generated from the booking fees, goes back to the community and helps in running a non-profit community-based organization called KCOOP Organization.
We run a non-profit called KCOOP Organization which was founded and registered in 2022. Our organization operates in Kibera slums and in rural parts of Kenya. The programs of KCOOP Organization include;
1. Education Program
2. Combating Child Hunger
3. Arts & Sports Program
4. Economic Empowerment
5. Environmental Conservation
All our regular updates are available on our website and social media pages.
We are now seeking like-minded individuals, organizations, or enterprises to partner with us and help scale up and grow our programs for the benefit of the communities we serve.
