'Dandora' is an eastern suburb in Nairobi, Kenya. It is part of the Embakasi division. Dandora is divided into five phases. Dandora was established in 1977, with partial financing by the World Bank in order to offer higher standard of housing [1]. However, the estate has turned into high-density slum with high unemployment. Dandora is also infamous for its high crime rate. Nairobi's principal dumping site is situated in Dandora, probably causing health problems for local residents.
Recently many Kenyan hip hop groups have emerged from Dandora, for example Kalamashaka.
