Korogocho
Korogocho is one of the largest slum neighbourhoods of Nairobi, Kenya. Home to 150,000 to 200,000 people pressed into 1.5 square kilometres, northeast of the city centre, Korogocho was founded as a shanty town on the then outskirts of the city.〔(Korogocho ).

==Location==
Located 11 kilometres northeast of the Nairobi city centre, Korogocho's 1-1.5 square kilometres were originally on government owned land which was a vacant outskirt when it was founded by rural migrants to the city in the 1960s. It borders one of Nairobi's main rubbish dumps, Dandora.〔(PRESENTATION OF KOROGOCHO SLUM ). Korogocho.org, Comboni Missionaries. 8 January 2008.〕 The slum is a "''Location''" (a formal subdivision) of Kasarani division, Nairobi Province,〔 and is divided into seven "villages": Highridge, Grogan, Ngomongo, Ngunyumu, Githaturu, Kisumu Ndogo/Nyayo and Korogocho.〔
As Korogocho expanded, it grew onto private land, and almost half its land is now owned privately.〔
