The clip below gives a glimpse into the Nancy's ardous life at an IDP camp near Mathare. It is very difficult for her, being pregnant and trying to survive in an unsanitary environment, where food, water and cooking fuel is scarce. The clip was filmed by Slum-tv reporters, who had been reporting on life in Mathare through the eyes of the residents themselves. Slum-tv continued to document the disruption of communities due to post election violence, by featuring first hand reports from Mathare slums in Nairobi.
