As a young girl who lives in Kibera and faces many problems, I think Kibera is developing. Our Member of Parliament, Raila Odinga, remembered us. He built a bridge, which is shown in the picture above.

Before that bridge, it was a big problem for us to cross from one side to the other, because of the big trench. It is sad to say this, but during the rainy season, we lost approximately 10 people in that area because the water would drown people when they were trying to cross. I think our cry has finally been heard, because the bridge has finally been built and there are no more problems of crossing to the other side.
