WATER PROBLEM

Water problem in Kibera is as old as Kibera slum itself.There has never been an attempt by the government to provide this important commodity to the residents of Kibera slum despite the fact that the government has been campaigning saying that it will provide clean drinking water to all citizens in Kenya by 2010.
This has come to pass and provision of water is left in the hands of private individuals who charge exorbitant prices and at times create a shortage so as to get chances of charging very high prices.
The government tried sometime back to construct some water points but this did not work.
Local government  authority has also neglected residents and people are at times forced to use running water from streams which is a health risk.
We appeal to well wishers to come to our rescue.
