Shauri Moyo

Shauri Moyo is one of Nairobi’s oldest slums dating back to the late 1930s. It is perhaps the busiest of Nairobi slums, located on the left side of Jogoo Road from the Nairobi’s Central Business District. As one enters the place, you meet thousands of residents carrying on their daily business. Residents like the place and they say that the security has improved greatly over the last couple of years. There is a social hall and a rehabilitation centre in the slum. Shauri Moyo as well houses Kenya’s largest meat joint, Burma, which was started in 1939 during the Second World War.
