Kibera

Working with several grassroots initiatives in Kenya, I visited to the Kibera Slum in Nairobi. The Matibabu project runs a school in Kibera, and I also took a locally-run tour of the area. Slum tourism is laden with ethical quandaries, and I left Kibera remembering the many kindnesses — but also fully aware that in the future I will not visit the slums without a reason for being there.

More perspectives on poverty and slum tourism are here:
