Chang'aa factory by the river in Mathare slums. Chang'aa is the Swahili word for moonshine, or illegal booze. At this place, it is produced industrially to be sold in illegal dens all over the country.Due to the keen interest police tend to show for such business, the factory is secured by armed guards (who denied my request to appear in the picture). For obvious reasons, very few pictures have ever been taken of such activities.
