dc.description.abstract | The primary goal of this study was to investigate women and sustainable slum upgrading,
with special reference to women living in Kibera-Soweto village.
It is ironic to note that the most elemental need shared by all women is rarely articulated;
the common and basic need to be heard. There has been many surveys conducted in the
slums of Nairobi, but none of them has uncovered any shelter projects that have studied
women's needs or solicited their views prior to project design. No matter what their
national or cultural backgrounds, women have far less access to programme planners and
decision-makers, in spite of the importance of women as the principal consumers of
shelter.
This paper based on the study of 10 women groups in Kibera-Soweto, the selected site for
-.. KENSUP, went ahead and established that the paragraph above is a true reflection of
what is happening in Kibera. | en |
