Earlier this year, El Niño’s floods devastated Nairobi’s informal settlements, claiming lives, and damaging homes and critical infrastructure. When floodwaters removed the bridge at Kibera Public Space Project 07, it left the community vulnerable and cut off.

Great to be at @Arch_KE AAK Annual Convention 2024 + HFHK National Housing Symposium. Critical theme #SocialHabitatForTheRegion closely interlinked with the purpose and objectives of https://t.co/HxTkok4gu3, to be discussed. #AAKConvention2024 #3iFKenya #InclusiveInfrastructure

[KDI Kenya @KDI_Kenya]

Early May, unprecedented flooding in Nairobi led the @InteriorKE to order residents of informal settlements to evacuate 30-meter riparian zones within 48 hours. We've seen widespread forced evictions & demolitions, with Kibera awaiting its fate.

Urgent Appeal: #KiberaFireReliefFund
The Laini Saba community in Kibera has been devastated by a fire, leaving hundreds homeless, injured, & in dire need. People, including those with disabilities, urgently require shelter, food, clothing, blankets, water, and more.

[NBO by Design @brenda_ngoya]

Nairobi was designed to be a city surrounded by streams of water. Nairobi river to the east and Ngong' River to the west. The vision and the reality have flowed in different directions. We've turned our backs on the river, now we use it as a backyard.
