  • According the Organization Kibera UK, until recently Kibera slum had no water and it had to be collected from the Nairobi dam, which wasn't clean, causing typhoid and cholera. Now there are two mains water pipes into Kibera, one from the municipal council and one from the World Bank. Residents collect water at Ksh 3 per 20 litres.
