Poorest Wards in Kenya

In every county, there is an area that has been left far behind in many aspects. In such areas, the education standards are so low; a major factor that compounds the poverty that exists.

Piped water is a far fetched dream in the poorest wards in Kenya.

The health facilities are non-existent and when there are, they are too small and ill equipped. To compensate for the lack of health facilities, the residents rely on mid wives and traditional medicine men/women.

Dusty and slippery roads are a factor that characterizes them. At night, a blanket of darkness covers a majority of the residents. Some of the residents fight the darkness but only to a limited extent. Paraffin lamps are the main source of light when darkness falls..

Another factor that is shared among all these wards is the type of human shelter. Most residents are living in huts made of earth/ mud.
