I visited Africa’s largest urban slum - Kibera in Nairobi - on June 15. The next day I was in nearby Upper Hill - Kenya's richest square mile - to talk at the East Africa Venture Capital Association's conference. Here's a thread about innovation, inclusion & humanity.🧵 1/6
“Kibera is surrounded by affluent areas,” George Owira @owira_obara from @hope2shine told me in this video 👇. Rich and poor live side by side in many cities and rarely meet. For example, London’s Canary Wharf financial district is in Tower Hamlets, a deprived area. 2/6
I discovered untold riches in Kibera. “Kibera people are rich in ideas,” George said. “The only thing they lack is the capacity and the funding.” Many thanks to Eva Warigia @eva_hawa for showing this video clip at the @EAVCA conference in Upper Hill on June 16. 🙏 3/6
