Kenyan rubbish dump has its own class system
Dandora is Nairobi’s main dumping ground. The 12-hectare land, located in the east of Nairobi, hosts an informal recycling economy which feeds thousands of families.
Elvis Ondieki is a journalist with the Daily Nation who managed to get rare access to visit Dandora as it's controlled by armed gangs. He tells Newsday: “Human society has classes everywhere…even in there.”
