Kenya's Jamii Bora Trust has teamed up with an American nonprofit group to create Africa's first ecologically friendly town built with microfinancing. Some 2,500 families are slated to live in Kaputei, near Kenya's capital of Nairobi. The families, most of who are from slum areas of Nairobi, will be able to purchase these homes with micro loans. Cathy Majtenyi visited Kaputei and files this report for VOA.
