Above Victory Centre
We visited this library in July 2014. It was quite touching seeing this extreme poverty and especailly all the children living in such a difficult setting, having access to minimal resources for their development.

| Library context | This is the super small informal library located deep down into the back alleys of the Kibera slum and serves the extreemly poor. This is not really a library but rather a small and peaceful reading place. They would need a shelf and a few more books for the children. |
