HOUSING IN MATHARE

 Housing has always been a  major pronem. In most parts of Nairobi.
Due to the high and dense population of Mathare people rush to fid into the few all most unavailable shanties for shelter with almost 500000 people living in a area of 2 km by 300 meters that is Mathare valley people annat realy yet good houses.
Housing is therefore inadequate with most houses measuring around 8 by a feet and sheetering 8 to 10 people. This is a single 100m which is subdivided into cube like bedroom, kitchen and siffing/living room the rooms are mostly divided by curfainst. Mostly children spend their nights on the floor due to lack of space housing is a  serious problem in  Mathare slums.
