INNOVATION IN KIBERA

Green revolution reaches Kibera with a big bang with thousands of people trying out the trick behind it and be with food around the clock and seasons of the year.
Having been said that its one of the biggest slums in Africa,this does not mean that you cant plant and eat or harvest your vegetables. Land scarcity is one of the characteristics of describing the Kibera slums but people have come up with clever innovation's to plant vegetables thus saving money.

This innovation is also employed by Tenderfeet to try save money to buy food which is very expensive.
I have been in the area for almost two and a half years now and have seen how people suffer with the atrocities of going without food days without a single drop of most special commodity on earth,Water.

This innovation will not only save the need of people looking for jobs to buy food and water but it will conserve the environment and the waste water will be used to irrigate the small farms of thousands of people in the slums.
A research done by the united nations found that the residential people who leave in the country live for less a doller a day and they can not buy or eat balanced diet or afford clean drinking water.
Translating to the green innovation will allow more people to have meals on their tables by using the vegetables they plant and also sell some of them to buy a balanced diet for their families.
