This Community Tour aims to uplift the lives of the slum dwellers, by 1) creating a conduit for them to achieve economic empowerment through income generated from these visits and 2) support the emotional well-being of slum dwellers by creating a platform where they can share stories, get encouragement, make new friends, and remove the stigma of HIV. The tour guides are mothers who were born and brought up in Mathare, now taking care of their children and those left behind by their relatives or neighbors who died, got incarcerated or varnished without a trace. The women will welcome you to their houses to see how they live, care for those ravaged by the H.I.V scourge and other maladies, help you experience their daily life, share with you their gripping stories of how they ended up living in the slums as well how they cope with life. The security-guards are the reformed youths within the slums, who have become role models to others to stay away from the vices.

crooks! I tried to contact the organization a day in advance, but there was no response via WhatsApp. On the day itself I also tried to make contact, but got nothing. I think it is outrageous, and do not advise anyone to book this tour. I had already paid for the full booking .....

If you're visiting Nairobi, even if only for a day, I absolutely recommend that you join this tour. It offers a unique opportunity to explore everyday life in Mathare and invites you to rethink your own. This incredible group of women opened their homes and hearts to us in a series of visits, through which we learned about their families, their struggles and their victories. Dr. John and Jijenge are on a deeply inspiring mission that should be discovered by more people. Thank you for the time and hospitality!

If you want to step out of the tourist track and actually get a glimps of what Nairobi is really about, this is the right place to go. The visit is eye-opening as much as it is hard to accept. The mothers and the kids from Jijenge lead you through their community with generosity and truth. It's an amazing, humble and human way of discovering the city, I'd strongly advise anyone to go without prejudice.
This tour in Nairobi is organized by Jijenge Community Slum Tours
