Mathare Slum, located in Nairobi, Kenya, began as a settlement for people migrating to the city in search of work during the colonial period in the 1920s. Initially, it consisted of temporary structures built by these migrants, primarily from rural areas. Over the decades, the population surged due to urbanization, leading to the establishment of more permanent structures despite inadequate infrastructure and services. Today, Mathare is one of the largest slums in Kenya, characterized by high density and poverty.
