This week on The Debrief, Al Jazeera's Hassan Ghani goes to Kibera, a slum in Kenya's capital, Nairobi, to find stories that take us beyond the miserable stats and hardship of life in poverty.
He meets a young man bringing toilets to the slum, a mother going to school to ensure a better life for her children, and a radio DJ who gives a voice to Kibera's voiceless.
While you're listening, check out this satellite view of Kibera to see how densely populated it is.
On the show: Al Jazeera journalist Hassan Ghani. Our host is Laurentiu Colintineanu.
Ghani's stories are part of AJ Shorts - our short documentary series about ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances. Check them out at aljazeera.com/shorts.
