One UNC organization is working to build grassroots leadership in one of Africa’s largest slums and aims to alleviate poverty and curb ethnic violence there. UNC alum Rye Barcott co-founded Carolina for Kibera after spending a summer in the Kibera slum on the outskirts of Nairobi, Kenya. The non-profit organization is part of UNC’s Center for Global Initiatives. It’s in its tenth year, and its programs last year reached more than 50 thousand people.
