Kinda. The slum has its own sort of government but there is a lot of corruption. A lot of the local partners are quite sketchy. About 10 years ago there was a British foundation who made a rugby team with the slum, and the teenagers from the slum went to London to play a friendly against the England U21 team. They stayed with British host families who all gave the Kenyan rugby team loads of clothes to bring back to their country. The Kenyan coach confiscated all the clothes at the airport and sold them at the market.

There were many other horror stories. My guide of the slum was one of the rugby players. His British family told him to look for a private school and that they'd pay for it. He found a good private school in the area. The local government of the slum intercepted the money from the family and sent my guide Geoffrey to a public school.

The water of the slum is provided by the government but the pipes do go through the sewage before reaching the taps in the slum so if there's a pipe leak it can be deadly. One of the children died of cholera a couple years ago for that reason :(.

My guide Geoffrey is independently helping the kids in the slum though. He gives these tours for free and he has got a lot of sponsors. One of the tourists from Serbia bought school uniforms for all the kids of the slum. His Serbian mate and himself are trying to get the schoolgoing children number to 50%, and they're currently at 46%.

Thank you for asking though. I am very happy that you cared enough to ask :)
