Ramadan Celebrations
Muslims across the world, including Kibera where 30% of the residents are Muslims, are all in celebration to mark there greatest religious world event which normally comes with various rules on fasting and times to pray. Ramadan is the month when Koran was revealed to the prophet. Muslims are therefore expected to dedicate themselves to prayer and reading of Koran. This explains the need to fast.
