entry description
Widely thought of as the largest urban slum in Africa, Kibera sits on the outskirts of Nairobi, Kenya. Amongst its residents are many people who have been forced to flee their own country. Here I have photographed a few of them, who have made the often dangerous journey to Kenya from countries including South Sudan and Congo. Despite looking for a better and safer life, Kibera is vastly over populated and has a very limited infrastructure, so making a new life there is not easy.back to gallery
