Faces of Kibera

My pal Piers ran the NY Marathon yesterday (a feat I'm greatly impressed by) to help raise money for the charity Faces of Kibera, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping orphans in Kibera, Kenya--Africa’s largest slum. Approximately 1 million people live in 1 square mile; 1 out of every 3 children is an orphan; and 1 out of every 6 is HIV positive. Their goal is to create and support a community-based facility outside Kibera. Funds raised will be spent on housing, food, psychological and medical care.
