Nairobi evictions video diary 1: Thursday 2nd August
Channel: Muungano wa Wanavijiji
Date: 2018-08-04

Our Know Your City. TV team documented the rapid data collection exercise being undertaken by Muungano wa Wanavijiji, Kenyan alliance of slum dwellers, in the face of ongoing evictions across the city. 

In the struggle prevent & advocate for alternatives to ongoing evictions across #Nairobi, Muungano, the Kenyan SDI. federation, is working to contact and mobilise residents, create awareness on the need to resist the forced evictions, and train community members to conduct the rapid enumerations. 

Muungano knows there is another way. Successful alternatives to forced evictions have been demonstrated across the SDI. network. Local and national government must join hands with Muungano and Kenyan civil society and put an end to these evictions. We need negotiated alternatives that keep the dignity, homes, and livelihoods of Nairobi’s 2+ million slum residents.
