    Church's Facing the Challenge of Poverty A Case Study of Korogocho Slum
    (Tangaza University College, 2001-02) Passi, Makaya
    In this modest work, we are going to present the Church's Facing the Challenge of Poverty especially the case of Korogocho Slum. The first reason of choosing this topic is that we are interested in the social, economic and political problems going on today in Kenya, particularly in Nairobi. The second reason is the fact that the problems of injustice, according to our experience, find their apex in the slums, in our case Korogocho. All these social problems and their effects on human life are summarized as caused by Poverty, which is going to be our main theme throughout this long essay. In the first chapter, we are going to give a short explanation of poverty in all its forms. The second chapter will be the facts on poverty as lived and experienced in Korogocho. We will also talk of urbanization as the backbone of the birth of the slums; and the last section will be on the presence of the Church in Korogocho. The third chapter is going to portray God's intervention on behalf of the exploited, the oppressed through prophets, Jesus of Na72reth, and the Early Christian Community. Finally our last chapter will be the mission of the Church which is the hope of this research: The Church's Facing the Challenge of Poverty in Korogocho. Therefore, our final aim is, first of all, to be aware of the problems or sufferings caused by the different sort of injustices or rather the presence of unjust structure which many people are living in (e.g. Korogocho). Secondly, to take this as a challenge for us lay people and religious and also as a challenge for the Church at large.

    Urbanization and Human Integrity
    (Tangaza University College, 1998-05) Njega, Lawrence Owino
    The urbanization, which has become always a point of address for its existing miseries is an issue to be looked into from different perspectives. Therefore, in this 'Essay'; I wish to address it from the sociological perspective of which its meaning, historical background the aftermath of its historical events and the proposed plans of action in the third chapter, are matters of concern in the context of social- ministerial realm. Prior to this effort, declarational remarks and platitudes of acknowledgment remarks are self - affirming stages at which my essay reveals its contents of appreciation and confidence in its status of originality; and the pride of its first attempt to this kind of approach. It is very clear, besides being my own originality, I have never independently used my own materials to justify my discussions promptly. Instead, I have been collaborating with other sources of literature for the justification of my argument. This sources include:- oral interviews and written literature. All have been of great support for the success of this essay. As conclusion, I have tried to avail my plans of action in reflect to the situation of urbanization, with specific reference to Nairobi city in Kenya. In this plan of action, I have also made an effort to propose the possible ways and means of reducing problems of urbanization. At this stage, I have made a final remark on urbanization with the hope that my social ministerial services in the society world influence the contemporary evangelization and world transformation generally in understand the human integrity.
