Click the title for photos and details of this amazing trip into Kenya. Warning, a beautiful story unfolds.

That’s all you need for Mathare whiskey, the powerful potion of escape for so many calling Mathare home.  We walked past the brewery and found out that it costs only 25 cents to get drunk on this crudely prepared booze.

The Mathare slum is the most congested and dangerous slum in Kenya.  There are no words, images, or videos that will EVER be able to adequately expose the extreme poverty and searing smells of a place descrbied best by hopelessness.

You will never understand until you have navigated the narrow paths of mud littered with dead animal carcasses, used condoms, and rotten food, had your nostrils burned with the stench of raw refuse, listened to the sound of trickling water struggling to flow in open sewers filled with every kind of trash imagineable, and hoping against hope that you don’t get hit by a sling toilet.  Just google that one and then keep reading.

This is home for over 800,000 in an area less than 1 mile wide x 2 miles long…
