    Wish I had millions of dollars I want to help each one of them. I been sponsoring a little girl in Uganda for 25 years, I got her through school and sent money to her directly. She was able to buy many things even goats and a cow. She got medical attention for her and her family. I did this through child fund. My 3 grown children are also sponsoring a child. So rewarding.
  • I totally agree that the clip is and old one maybe at least 10 to 15 years back ,, but the situation still remains the same up to date,,, it's very hard for a slum hood to change

    This young men only needs to see that his gambling is what his problem is. The lady who wants to open a youth center and gentleman who started the bike taxi are trying to make the lives of this slum better. The government should have trash men come in with metal boxes for the trash. Then set up water stations around. Portable toilets could be a start in helping. Have four set up in certain spots around this slum town. That could be a start instead of building houses. The people of the slums can’t afford rent or electricity at this time in the slum town. They don’t need to take away these people’s homes that they built. These buildings might not look good to some. But these are homes these people built that they can call their own. This is the only thing they can be proud of.

    This is an old documentary or maybe you want to portray Nairobi in a bad way. Nairobi changed.

    Please put a date to the documentary to depict an objective narrative. The documentary is quite old and the narrative has changed massively.
