County 01
Nairobi
Mathare sits beside Muthaiga. The city looks well-off until you walk the other side of the wall.

Nairobi and Kiambu are two postcodes. The work is the country — informal estates, dryland classrooms, and a school we sponsor in Malaa.

The whole map
Nairobi and Kiambu are two postcodes we can walk you through. Problem Free Movement works in 42 counties — lake, coast, highland, dryland — and a school we fully sponsor in Malaa is one classroom on that map.
The girl of the slum is not a Nairobi-only problem.

County 02
Kiambu
Peri-urban settlements the county averages still miss.
County 03
Machakos
Baraka Hawali School, fully sponsored by PFWM, sits in Malaa. Each nearby homestead receives five tree seedlings every rainy season.
Why these locations
Each affluent Nairobi neighbourhood has a slum beside it. Muthaiga pairs with Mathare. Westlands pairs with Kangemi. Lavington pairs with Kawangware. When poor people live inside a geography counted as well-off, they miss funds that follow poverty indexes and constituency formulae. That pairing is a Nairobi lesson — and the same exclusion lives in 42 counties.
PFWM is keen on the places that sit behind glamorous estates and the classrooms that never make a dashboard. While communities wait for national and county resources to trickle down, people continue to suffer. That is why a duty-bearer such as PFWM intervenes, from the lake to the coast.
