A day in our life at Mukuru
The Nairobi slum known as Mukuru Kwa Njenga stretches six km long and 2 km wide. It snakes its way like a ribbon, sandwiched between the industrial area and the main highway from Nairobi to Mombasa. This slum is home to 700,000 people.
Our 4-WD vehicle heaves and sways in and out of raw sewage. This is the rainy season. School children try to pick their way over these lethal pools.
Workers make up the rest of the milling crowd. They carry a hope in their hearts that maybe, just maybe, they might get some casual employment today. With a little luck they may take home a maximum of one Euro for this day of heavy labour and sweat.
We need your help to bring hope to the people of Mukuru. If you can, please donate now.
