In 1985 there were no schools in Mukuru, a slum, or shanty town, of half a million residents, in Nairobi, Kenya. Nothing could be done about the problem, because there were no government funds available. When a deputation from Mukuru met Sr Mary Killeen, she said to them "build me a hut and I will teach your children." She advised them to request that the City Council provide the site, which it did. So they built a corrugated hut and, in it, Sr Mary, with Fr Manuel Gordejuila, offered education to the slum children and the beginnings of community development. The initiative was called Mukuru Promotion Centre and it grew and grew, so that within 10 years over 7,000 children were accommodated in several separate schools, together with multiple other projects, covering health care, skills training and community development.

“With an estimated 400,000 residents, the
cardboard-and-tin slum of Mukuru is the second largest slum in Nairobi, but one
of its poorest. Like all shantytowns, it is densely populated with inadequate
sanitation and water services. It is prone to fires and flooding -- 30 people
drowned last year when a flash-flood caused by heavy rains swept their shacks
away.”
(Paul O’Callaghan, Irish Independent, Nov 2012: Note: the population of Mukuru is now about 700,000)
