Hidden behind the beautiful walls.
More than fifty years after independence, poverty, disease, and illiteracy remain sharpest in informal estates. National averages hide that.

Nairobi and Kiambu first. The mandate is countrywide; the work starts where the walls meet the slum.

Why these locations
Each affluent Nairobi neighbourhood has a slum beside it. Muthaiga pairs with Mathare. Westlands pairs with Kangemi. Lavington pairs with Kawangware. When poor people live inside a geography counted as well-off, they miss funds that follow poverty indexes and constituency formulae. Nairobi often receives the lowest allocation per person despite a huge poor population.
PFWM is keen on these areas that sit behind glamorous estates. While communities wait for national and county resources to trickle down, people continue to suffer. That is why a duty-bearer such as PFWM intervenes.
