Abstract
We shall have a total number of four chapters in this case study. The chronology
shows a prolegomena to the issue as our first chapter. In this respect, we shall have in the
first place, point of insertion then scope of work, after which the working definitions will
follow. The working hypothesis will lead to a brainstorm on the goal of our study, namely
slum reality.
Chapter two is particularly a focus on the socio-cultural analysis. Therefore, it will
give practical insights on the location of the slum, its history, societal divisions, level of issue,
structures, cultural analysis and the most challenging issues. It is in this chapter that all our
readers will have a tour to Mathare slum, though metaphysically.
Our second-last chapter gives a theological reflection on the slum reality. It intends
to intermarry the human poverty with the evangelical poverty, whose aim is the kingdom that
is already in our midst and is yet to be realised.
Finally, in chapter four we will discuss about the pastoral action ought to be taken by
the Christian community to counteract the challenges. The appendix list is intentionally
mean to update the readers with a deep knowledge of the reality in our issue and therefore
to move us towards action on the stipulation.
The general conclusion will profoundly qualify the study with a clear and prices
Summary and the point of emphasis.
