Kibera
Kibera (Nubian: ''Forest'' or ''Jungle'') is a division of Nairobi Area, Kenya, and neighbourhood of the city of Nairobi, from the city centre. Kibera is the largest slum in Nairobi, and the largest urban slum in Africa.〔〔http://www.dominionpaper.ca/articles/1703 Machetes, Ethnic Conflict and Reductionism〕 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.〔(Adolescence in the Kibera Slums of Nairobi, Kenya ) Annabel S. Erulkar and James K. Matheka, Population Council, New York (2007)〕〔(Understanding the Grassroots Dynamics of Slums in Nairobi: The Dilemma of Kibera Informal Settlements ) Emmanuel MUTISYA and Masaru YARIME, International Transaction Journal of Engineering, Management, & Applied Sciences & Technologies, Volume 2, No.2 (2011); pages 197–213〕〔(Audio Slideshow: Dr. Biden Sees the Neighborhoods of Kenya ) The White House, United States (June 2010)〕〔(Kibera: How slum lords cash in on misery ) Kimathi Mutegi, The Nation, Kenya (19 September 2013)〕
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 Government is addressing the problem, having initiated a programme to replace the slum with a residential district consisting of high rise apartments, and relocating the residents to these new buildings upon completion. The apartments are being built in phases in line with the Government's budgetary allocations, and a few apartments in phase 1 of the project have already been occupied.
The neighbourhood is divided into a number of villages, including Kianda, Soweto East, Gatwekera, Kisumu Ndogo, Lindi, Laini Saba, Siranga, Makina and Mashimoni. Conditions in Kibera are extremely poor, and most of its residents lack access to basic services, including electricity and running water.
