While Fred was attending college in the United States, he would
take summers off and return to Africa. Fred located some
government land next to Kibera Slum which is located in Nairobi,
Kenya. Kibera is now the largest slum in Africa. This slum is
one square mile and home to almost one million people. Five
hundred thousand of Kibera’s residents are under the age of 15.
One hundred thousand of these children are orphans. The average
size of a home in Kibera is 9ft X 9ft. These homes have two to
twelve people livng in them. There is no running water, no
electricity, and no sewage system. It is here, in Kibera, that
Fred Outa decided he would begin his life’s work.
