It is the cheapest slum tour and high quality life changing experience for those who have never been in the slums because we want a lot of people to understand our way of life in the slum. We have provision for edutainment where we have traditional dances from the school. The pick-up point will be flexible for both parties. Visitors will have the opportunity to see the innermost part of the slum and the households of the real slum. The visitor will see the mixture of different cultures staying together as one in the slum. Most importantly, we are not highlighting poverty but the resilience of the human spirit in adversity by supporting a school called Agape hope for kibera with 20% of the income.
Our tour brings you home to the humble lives of Kibera informal residents and you get a first hand encounter to their daily endavours and struggles to have a transformed future. Come listen to their eye opening stories of optimism and hope.
