Poverty has crippled Kibera but it is not the pity-inducing cry for help that NGOs would have you believe - Jean-Pierre Larroque
Quote
It’s clear that poverty has crippled Kibera,’ ‘but it doesn’t exactly induce the pity-inducing cry for help that NGOs, church missions, and charity groups would have you believe.’ What you see instead, he notes, are ‘streets bustling with industry’. Kibera feels not so much like a place of despair as a hotbed of entrepreneurialism.
