There's trash as wide as the eye can see in Dandora, Nairobi's biggest dump site. Every day, up to 2,000 people are sifting through the garbage, hoping to find something they can turn into a profit. The dump site has long been acknowledged as a highly dangerous part of Nairobi, a hub for criminal groups.
