As the Government dithers and over housing the urban poor, residents of an informal settlement in Nairobi are showing the way things ought to be done. Up to the year 2003, the residents of Kambi Moto slum village in Huruma, Starehe Division, Nairobi, lived like any other slum dwellers do in crowded, poorly built shacks, made of any material they could find. Today, all that has changed. Thirty-four residents live in permanent, well-ventilated houses, provided with flush toilets, kitchen, living area and bedroom. And it is expected that in another year or so, 270 more units will have been completed to accommodate residents of Kambi Moto.
