The major pathway across Kibera is the rail road line. You can walk from one end of the slum to the other in about an hour by just following the tracks. People sweep their compounds, the pathways, their business, and homes, keeping them very neat and tidy. Kibera is not a dirty place because of neglect and laziness -- there is no garbage collection. What amazed me is how nearly a million people can live viturally on top of each other -- schools, clinics, churches, shops, bars, restaurants, and homes and not collect more garbage than they do.
