HELP KIBERA

Kibera means Forest or Jungle in Nubian.  It refers to a division of Nairobi Area, Kenya, and a province and neighbourhood of the city of Nairobi, located 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) from the city centre. Kibera is the largest slum in Nairobi, and the second largest urban slum in Africa. The 2009 Kenya Population and Housing Census reports Kibera's population as 170,070, contrary to previous estimates of one or two million people.  You can learn more about Kibera by reading this entry in Wikipedia.
