Several projects have come up to remedy the plight of informal housing in Kenya, each laudable, but none has so far been successful. In line with the government's mission of providing housing for it's citizens, the Kenya government embarked on this ambitious slum upgrading mission, which used water and sanitation as an entry point to the community. This particular project was used by the KENSUP as the pilot project for purposes of country wide replication. The book outlines the experiences gained from implementing this project together with it's emerging impants;it is useful for both policy makers and scholars who want to gain more insight on the beginnings of K-Watsan
