Kibera, the largest slum in Nairobi and Africa, is a densely populated area where over a million residents live within less than a square mile. Despite the challenges of poverty, lack of running water, and electricity, Kibera buzzes with its own industries. Rows of tilted shacks line the streets, selling a variety of goods such as fresh produce, charcoal, homemade breads, secondhand clothes, and shoes. Visitors can witness the resilience and entrepreneurial spirit of the community, which thrives amidst the hardships.
