Outskirts of Nairobi

After learning about Tiny Homes, I went back to the ideas from the slums I witnessed when I was in Nairobi, Kenya. The government doesn't pay attention to it and from what Ive heard, you don't name your child until they are around four years old. What amazes me is that we take so much for granted but the people living in these slums, can survive of no water and food. They have lived like this for so long and are starting to figure out ways of sustaining. The images I was able to take weren't that great so i went online to find the images that were close to what I shot.

Kibera is the largest slum in Nairobi. In 2009,  it was considered the largest urban slum in Africa! Kibera's population is around 170,070 after other estimates around one or two million people. Most residents living in the slums live in extreme poverty and make under less than $1.00 a day. People have no idea that this is going on here in Nairobi.  

                                          People only listen to whats going on in "Africa."
