This is how a Donholm man’s dreams are now in tatters

Residents walk in a market, at the New Donholm Estate in Nairobi. The estate has become a slum with mushrooming of unplanned structures and markets in every corner as church crusaders play loud music over the weekends.

NAIROBI, KENYA: The filthy, murky stream meanders and bubbles its way through the southern part of the new Donholm estate before it joins the main Nairobi River towards Ruai in the wee hours of the morning.

Along its course, residents are waking up to another day with the smell of a sewer that has become part of their lives. This has become ‘normal’ and they are trying to cope.
