Life in Mathare slum in the growing capital of Kenya, Nairobi. Approximately 500.000 people live in this slum that has poverty beyond imagination. No running water, no electricity and no proper sanitation. Most people live on under one dollar per day. With few options many young people get involved in crime, drug abuse and prostitution.
