  12. NAIROBI, KENYA - AUGUST 26: Monica Nduko stands in a room she shares with 13 other people on August 26, 2009 in the Kibera slum, one of the worlds largest, in Nairobi, Kenya. Nduko is one of dozens of Kibera residents to start a local business with the assistance of a cash grant. The non-governmental organization (NGO) Concern, in cooperation with local Kenyan groups, has launched a campaign to provide the urban poor with cash grants to start a business or get back on their feet after suffering disproportionately from post-election violence in 2007. The money is transferred to the recipients via a mobile phone which insures a safe and simple financial transaction to customers who don�t have bank accounts. Hairdressers, grocery stores and food vendors are just some of the businesses that have been financed through the program.
  13. NAIROBI, KENYA - AUGUST 25: A Kenyan census worker interviews a resident of the Kibera slum, one of the world's largest, during the first full day of the Kenyan national census on August 25, 2009 in Nairobi, Kenya. The census numbers, the first in a decade, are expected to reveal that Kenya�s population has risen by 10 million since the last census was taken a decade ago, resulting in a population of nearly 40 million people. Continued population growth in Kenya is a concern, as the country is facing serious shortages of water, food and power supply. One contentious issue related to the census is the question of tribal or ethnic identity. Kenya�s disputed 2007 presidential election resulted in ethnic-tribal violence which left over 1,000 people dead.
