Life in the slums of Nairobi can be perilous, particularly for adolescent girls. Consider:
- Only half of girls in Nairobi's Kibera slum report having many friends in their neighborhood,
- Only a quarter of girls have a safe place in the community to meet their friends,
- Fifty-five percent of girls live with neither or only one parent,
- Among girls aged 10–19 who have ever had sex, 34 percent did not want to have sex the first time they did,
- 60 percent of girls aged 10–19 consider themselves at risk for being raped.
