Until the census in 2009, the Nubian community was not listed as a tribe of Kenya; they were considered as 'Others'.

It is the only graveyard in Kibera. Nubians feel it is the most significant confirmation of their connection to the land of Kibera. Nubian men make a final prayer before the deceased is laid to rest. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecddc23d47ad72c925fc39c/245b0204-a196-4d81-8646-b568e6278ea9/10-23-compressed.jpg The homeland of the Nubians - Make it stand out Nubians are one of the only communities in Kenya to be vetted. Nubian youth are interviewed by a “vetting committee” and must prove their connection to Kenya. They are often asked to present any number of documents, including grandparents' birth certificates.

Few, if any, Nubians have positions significant enough to help influence their community's development. Most Nubian youth find they are limited to working odd jobs in Kibera. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecddc23d47ad72c925fc39c/660247ef-6e7f-4fb3-ae2d-dd2b2d9a8bad/621108nu-19-compressed.jpg The homeland of the Nubians - Make it stand out Hundreds of Nubians as well as people from all over Kibera congregate to watch the wedding party.

A National ID card is vital for everyday life in Kenya and is essential for recognition of citizenship. Nubian youth have had to wait years for their IDs or in some cases are denied an ID. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecddc23d47ad72c925fc39c/1742334809432-RSCZ2DZ8YED158D47MXJ/1st-b-banner.jpg The homeland of the Nubians https://www.kenyasnubians.com/and-then-it-vanished daily 0.75 2025-03-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecddc23d47ad72c925fc39c/f53a9247-e40b-43cd-a002-1c85f8e05462/kibera2010a-compressed.jpg And then it vanished Nubian children look over the sprawling Kibera slum.

In Nubi, Makina means 'gathering'. It is the location of the Makina mosque, the Kibera Primary School and is also one of the main entry points for people coming and going out of Kibera. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecddc23d47ad72c925fc39c/a3b7caaf-0092-4f1e-a780-04c2de930abd/11-08-compressed.jpg And then it vanished - Make it stand out Once situated among bush, mango trees and green grass, this Nubian family's home rests nearly in the middle of Kibera.

The Nubians called it Kathirkher which meant ‘plenty of blessings’, but since the early 1990s the area has been inhabited by people from other tribes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecddc23d47ad72c925fc39c/3f98571d-80c4-4fa1-baec-b3d57f7e99b2/41-18-compressed.jpg And then it vanished - Make it stand out Without land to cultivate and unable to compete for decent employment, many Nubians depend on rental income to survive. The majority of people in Kibera live in dilapidated rooms and huts. Nearly all the structures in Kibera, including Nubian homes, are considered temporary structures. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecddc23d47ad72c925fc39c/1742333784229-15WCDH9QHPMIED8UME51/10-35-compressed.jpg And then it vanished https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecddc23d47ad72c925fc39c/1742333797730-LUN72XXMSIGFO7MVGJTW/41-11-compressed.jpg And then it vanished https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecddc23d47ad72c925fc39c/64eabb7b-22fd-4174-9aae-16c024e7eb8b/31-25-compressed.jpg And then it vanished Rooftops in the Lindi section of Kibera. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecddc23d47ad72c925fc39c/1742334225404-GXWQRV8NW9A49ZAERN2J/18-03-compressed.jpg And then it vanished https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecddc23d47ad72c925fc39c/1742334236473-H4L3UYE0UM4KBRHMXUJ1/12-05-compressed.jpg And then it vanished https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ecddc23d47ad72c925fc39c/a796a4a3-da45-4964-afff-3b0f00ed9185/24-13-compressed.jpg And then it vanished - Make it stand out In 1946- 48 British authorities realigned the Uganda railway to travel straight through Kibra, destroying many Nubian homesteads. Since then, most of the original land provided to the Nubians has been lost to the development of middle class estates and to the huge number of people moving to Kibera.
