Habitat for Humanity Kenya (HFHK) has released findings of a detailed housing assessment study of Mukuru Informal Settlements in Nairobi.

The findings, which were unveiled at a stakeholder workshop held at a Nairobi hotel, highlight critical housing challenges affecting over half a million residents in the area.

Among those present during a public participation stakeholders meeting were policymakers, civil society organisations, community leaders, and residents who converged to deliberate on actionable solutions to the housing challenges in the City.

The challenges, which include overcrowding, land tenure insecurity, substandard housing, and limited access to basic services, call for urgent, multi-sectoral interventions towards addressing the state of living conditions of the communities affected.
