Korogocho (original) (raw)
Korogocho is one of the largest slum neighbourhoods of Nairobi, Kenya. Home to 150,000 to 200,000 people pressed into 1.5 square kilometres, northeast of the city centre, Korogocho was founded as a shanty town on the then outskirts of the city. In 2009 it was estimated to be the fourth largest slum in Nairobi, after Kibera, Mathare Valley and Mukuru kwa Njenga.

| dbo:abstract | Korogocho ist nach Kibera und Mathare der drittgrößte Slum der kenianischen Hauptstadt Nairobi. Es gehört zum Stadtbezirk Kasarani und befindet sich im östlichen Teil der Stadt, angrenzend an die Viertel Kariobangi, Dandora und Lucky Summer. Der Name „Korogocho“ bezieht sich auf das Wort kurugucu aus der Sprache der Kikuyu und bedeutet so viel wie „Durcheinander, Chaos, Abfall“. In Korogocho leben laut Schätzungen mindestens 150.000 Menschen, die hauptsächlich durch informelle Tätigkeiten für ihren Lebensunterhalt sorgen. Ein Bruchteil der Bevölkerung bezieht Einkommen aus formaler Beschäftigung, vor allem in den umliegenden Industriegebieten. Auf der angrenzenden Müllhalde von Dandora arbeiten Tausende von Menschen und suchen nach Essbarem oder Wiederverwertbarem – Dinge, die zur weiteren Verarbeitung verwendet oder weiterverkauft werden. Im Rahmen des 7. World Social Forum (WSF) trat Korogocho ins öffentliche Interesse. Sozial tätig ist in besonderer Weise der Italiener , zu bedeutenden lokalen Organisationen gehören die Jugendgruppe Miss Koch Initiative und der lokale Radiosender 99.9 KochFM.

Con circa 180.000 abitanti, è la quarta baraccopoli più popolosa del paese dopo Kibera, Mathare e . Il nome "Korogocho", in kikuyu, significa "confusione". Al suo interno è suddivisa in villaggi che solitamente attestano l'appartenenza etnica. Korogocho è da anni in una situazione di grave crisi ambientale a causa della presenza, nei pressi del centro abitato, della discarica di Dandora. Un progetto di rilocazione della discarica, iniziato a metà degli anni 2000 con l'interessamento delle autorità italiane, è in seguito naufragato per un sospetto di corruzione nella gestione degli appalti.
