WHY VISIT KIBERA
One of Africa's largest communities — and one of its most resilient.
Kibera is one of the largest informal settlements in Africa, home to approximately 600,000 people living within an area roughly the size of Central Park, largely without access to basic infrastructure and essential services.
Whether you're Kenyan or visiting from abroad, this is an experience that goes beyond a typical tour. It's a chance to meet people, hear stories, explore innovative infrastructure, and see how Human Needs Project works alongside the community to build long-term solutions from within.
Every visit directly supports that work — 100% of tour proceeds are reinvested into the Kibera community.
