Nairobi Cholera Outbreak Analysis
This briefing examines the primary factors contributing to the cholera outbreak in Nairobi, focusing on contamination sources, infrastructure vulnerabilities, and high-risk zones.
Mathare River Junction
A leaky sewer-water junction in Mathare Valley has been identified as a high-probability contamination source. Heavy rainfall during recent months has exacerbated this issue.
Aged Pipeline Corridor
A structurally compromised pipeline segment crossing untreated drainage poses a risk of infiltration in the informal settlements near Kibera.
Kibera Borehole Cluster
A high-density vendor area with decentralized quality control systems has been identified as vulnerable to single-source outbreaks.
Mathare-Mukuru Corridor
Persistent infrastructure gaps in this area create a permanent high-risk environment for waterborne diseases.
