What You Will Do
This Community Tour aims to uplift the lives of the slum dwellers, by 1) creating a conduit for them to achieve economic empowerment through income generated from these visits and 2) support the emotional well-being of slum dwellers by creating a platform where they can share stories, get encouragement, make new friends, and remove the stigma of HIV.
The tour guides are mothers who were born and brought up in Mathare, now taking care of their children and those left behind by their relatives or neighbors who died, got incarcerated or varnished without a trace. The women will welcome you to their houses to see how they live, care for those ravaged by the H.I.V scourge and other maladies, help you experience their daily life, share with you their gripping stories of how they ended up living in the slums as well how they cope with life. The security-guards are the reformed youths within the slums, who have become role models to others to stay away from the vices.
