The Kongowea Slum


Most of the children that come to Upendo Care International live in the Kongowea Slum of Mombasa, Kenya. Here are a few pictures of what life is like for our children outside the walls of UCI. 

Laundry hanging on the line to dry. One house often holds about five families (25+ people) in Kongowea.


Water shortages exist all over Kenya, but slums are the most affected. The yellow barrels carry clean water to residents of the slum.


 A couple of men are at one of Kongowea's shops, talking with the owner and purchasing mandazis. Most residents earn less than one dollar (USD) a day.
