    Text and photo's by Lameck Nyagudi, boy wears football shirt of Dutch player Ruud van Nistelrooy
    [Photo series] A boy wearing a shirt of his hero Ruud van Nistelrooy at Nairobi's biggest dump site in Dandora, a slum area. Hundreds of people make a living here, between animal bones and hospital waste they find their way. There is even time to play football. Photo's by ex-Dandora resident Lameck Nyagudi.

    This is the Dandora dumpsite in Nairobi. It is the main dumping site for most of the solid waste, generated by the 4.5 million people living in the Kenyan capital.
    Dumping at the site is unrestricted. Industrial, agricultural, domestic and medical wastes - including used syringes - are strewn all over the site.

    Every day, scores of people, including children, from the nearby slums and low-income residential areas use the dump to find food, recyclables and other valuables they can sell as a source of income. As they pick over the garbage, they are inhaling the noxious fumes from routine waste burning and methane fires. See more pictures by Lameck  Nyagudi in his weblog

    Liked the photos. I once passed by the place but the guts to walk into the murk deserted me. Its not just the place that is feared but the people who scavenge there as well. Beautiful.

    This scene reminds me of a scene in the movie, Slumdog Millionaire. Young boys scavenging what they can find in a landfill, braving the hot sun and other unspeakable dangers. If we deny these children access to these sites for their own good, where else can they turn to forge a living for themselves, when no outside help is given at all?

    “We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow sometimes in one dimension, and not in another; unevenly. We grow partially. We are relative. We are mature in one realm, childish in another. The past, present, and future mingle and pull us backward, forward, or fix us in the present. We are made up of layers, cells, constellations.”
