Kibera is on no map, its 550,00+ people - 1 out of every 5 Nairobians, cartographically invisible.
One of the many roads in all unpaved, most only a few walkers' wide rises at a 20 degree angle
in yellow dirt. Everyday thousands of Kiberians walk several miles to and from their work formal
or informal as it may be. One side of Kibera parallels the railroad tracks the other is bordered
by stores in corrugated metal, barrels pounded flat.
From a distance, the rows of corrugated metal roofs are deceptively regular yet as one moves into
the neighbourhood itself the structure reveals itself as an overcrowded, overstressed environment.
