Solar in the Slums

This is an incomplete post salvaged from the internet archive.

Today myself and few other fortunate Youth got to take a trip to one of Nairobi’s slums, Kibera. Kibera wasn’t exactly how I immagined a Kenyan slum to look like. It did have the rusty tin roofs, tiny shacks in disrepair, and dirt roads filled with potholes as one would expect to find in an area where the poor of the developing world reside but it also had something else. There seemed to be an energy present opposite of what I expected to find. There were food stands selling fresh fruit, shops, and plenty of smiling faces. There were also solar cells.
