The Play Ground is a Rubbish Tip.

The Water Supply is an Open Sewer there are NO Toilets!
{note the yellow water cans}

One young man has collected water for his "family".

There is NO running water.

Why not rescue the children of Mathare, above, they deserve much better than these horrific conditions to grow up in. Below are details of the O.R.K. and how you can rescue an orphan NOW. Only the price of your daily newspaper for one year will make a huge difference to these beautiful children of Africa.
