The organization is looking to save lives, prevent ethnic and religious violence, and create opportunities for less fortunate people living in Africa. Kibera has the world’s most poverty. This urban settlement is also the most densely populated city in the world. Carolina for Kibera addresses the three key conflicts in Kibera, ethnic violence, youth unemployment, and public health. The government in Kibera gives 20 liters of water in order for the less fortunate to survive. Until recently, there was no clean water in Kibera. The dam caused typhoid and cholera. Because of the lack of clean water, lots of people died because of these diseases. CFK donations represent an investment in the future of a developing world in Africa.
