NAIROBI, KENYA - NOVEMBER 19: Children play with plastic cans as they go about their daily lives amidst challenging conditions in the Mathare slum, Nairobi, Kenya, on November 19, 2024. On November 20, 1989, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Convention on the Rights of the Child to protect children and improve their living conditions, declaring November 20 as 'World Children's Day'. In Mathare, children live in makeshift houses, struggling to survive amid the waste water and piles of garbage flowing through the middle of their homes, with no infrastructure in place.
