About

Hello everyone! My name is Nyasha Durrant from St. Vincent and the Grenadines.  This blog is part of an online course conduced by the United Nations Institute for Training and Research. I’ve started this blog by posting about Kibera which is on of the most pronounced slums in Kenya, Africa.  I’m hoping that this short blog will highlight the importance of providing support to the people of Kibera that will allow them to improve their living conditions. Check out the video below for more information on women in Kibera.

Helping the women of Kibera

Kibera is one of the most pronounced slums within Kenya.  As part of my work with the local Kibera women’s organization in Kenya, we have decided to set up several women self help groups in Kibera.


The overall goal of the project is economic independence for the women. Each self help group will work towards creating and selling traditional jewellery and handicrafts from Kenya.
