Poor sanitation continues to be a major concern in our major slums in the country. Kibera, Korogocho and Mathere among other slums continue to face challenges of accessing clean water and proper drainage and as a result outbreaks of diseases like cholera and typhoid are experienced.
Human waste disposal to be precise has proved to be a major challenge to these slums. The Congestion of houses in these areas makes it hard for the slum dwellers to dig pit latrines, a major setback that has been known to exist since the millennium.
