HOUSING IN MATHARE

housing has always been a major problem in most parts of Nairobi. Due to the high and dense population of Mathare, people rush to sit into the few almost movable shanties for shelters.
With almost 50,000 living in an area of 2Km by 300 meters, that is Mathare Valley. Housing is therefore inadequate and people can not therefore get good houses with houses measuring about 8 feet by 6 feet and sheltering 8-10 people.
This is a single room which is sub-divided into cubes like bedroom, kitchen and sitting room by curtains. Mostly children spend their nights on the floor due to lack of space. 
Housing is a serious problem in Mathare slums.
