Life at Kenya's Dandora rubbish dump

Kenya's biggest rubbish tip could soon close but what will that mean for local residents?

We go to Dandora, one of Africa鈥檚 largest rubbish tips. A court in Nairobi has ordered the dumpsite to come up with a concrete plan to close by February next year. But what will that mean for the community relying on the waste to survive? We hear about life at Dandora through the eyes of Liz Oteng鈥檕, who grew up relying on airline meals dumped at the site. Vivienne Nunis hears how she and her husband Remco Pronk, are fighting to change the lives of those growing up there today. Image credit:Getty
