Soweto is a slum located at about ten kilometers  away from the city of Nairobi.
It has a population of about 10,000 people where  the bigger percentage comprises of the youth. Soweto has many typical slum problems just like any other slums around the world .The  challenges that the  community face  are;-
  • Early pregnancies
