The Effects of Living Without Infrastructure Kibera is entirely without infrastructure, and has little to no access to basic services such as garbage collection, sanitation, drainage systems, and access to water. The vastly insufficient number of available lavatories and baths result in the practice of ‘flying toilets’– human excreta in plastic bags which are disposed of at night by throwing them into the air to land where they may, as there is nowhere to safely dispose of them.
A Dangerous Environment The physical environment itself is dangerous People walk around on, live in, and their children playon, surfaces contaminated with human waste, which can contain dangerous pathogens. There is a direct link between the absence of sanitation systems and the presence of deadly diseases.

The lack of waste disposal, drainage systems and public toilets, allow for diseases such as malaria, diarrhea and cholerato flourish.
