Description: Children from Kibera slum play outside their homes, in very unhygienic conditions. Rubbish covers the area like a thick vegetation mat, and is also deposited by the polluted stream flowing at the bottom of their back yard. Children are highly at risk living in this environment. Latrines with numbers on the green doors line the back of the photograph, providing a play space for children who watch the stream below them. Kibera is the largest slum in Africa, home to over 550,000 people, which constitutes one in every five people living in Nairobi.
