Slum 1: Mathare, Nairobi, Kenya
“Many people come from rural areas. When some of their colleagues go to the rural area, they keep on telling them: Nairobi, there is a very nice life, you can make a lot of money… which is not true, so when they come they end up being packed in the slum because they don’t get that proper job they were promised by their colleagues.”
- Julius Mwelu, community activist
Slum 2: Dharavi, Mumbai, India
“I feel bad when outside people say it’s a slum… when I say I’m from Dharavi, they change their face… but those people who come here and see how we are living, they will feel comfortable.”
- Nitia, MBA student
