Kibera Resources


Curious to learn more about where I’m working? Check out The Constant Gardner, a 2005 Golden Globe nominee, which takes place in the famous slum, as does Kibera Kid, a relatively new movie that I’ve yet to see but have heard good things about.

Robert Neuwirth devotes a chapter of his book Shadow Cities to Kibera, and Michael Holman's 2005 novel Last Orders at Harrods is based in a fictional version of the slum, called Kireba. Bill Bryson visited Africa for CARE and wrote a companion book called "Bill Bryson's African Diary" which includes a description of his visit to Kibera.
