Chemi Chemi ya Uzima (Spring of wholeness) is a clinic run in Kibera slum six days per week by Nairobi Baptist Church. It used to be a brew house and is in a sector of Kibera dominated by Sudanese and other Nubian groups. I have been a few times and am on the management committee now (until I decide I can’t contribute anything useful).
The slum is mostly corrugated sheets or mud-brick walls and very tightly packed. Sanitation is the biggest problem; “flying toilets” is the euphemism for plastic bags that are used as toilets and then thrown over the roof tops.
Recently I went with two visitors (incl. Maiya who took some of these pictures) for an immunisation clinic (picture of kids waiting).
