Out of this slum has emerged some very inspiring stories of overcoming all odds in life. Its fame today comes from such stories more than the inhuman conditions that exist there. Here you meet people like Su Kahumbu and her vegetable gardens planted in damp sites of Kibera to provide a source of livelihood and help rehabilitate the slum. From the same slums came such award winning movies like Kibera Kid and Soul Boy that won international acclaim (You can watch trailers of these movies at Enchanted Landscapes). Hi.
