Kenya is located on the equator,
in eastern Africa, and is bordered by Somalia, Ethiopia, Sudan,
Uganda, Tanzania and the Indian Ocean.
This country became a British protectorate
in 1895, a colony
in 1920, and then gained independence in 1963. The population
is estimated to be approximately 31 million, many of whom suffer
the devastating effects of recurring drought in the dry season
and, subsequently, flooding during rainy seasons. In the city
of Nairobi, sixty percent of the population live in
slum communities. That’s
about 2 million people! |
