The Korogocho slum is one of the poorest parts of Nairobi, with a high rate of unemployment. Traditionally there have been few opportunities for young people - and some children fall into the hands of criminal gangs. But a group of its residents are determined to change that - through the power of roller-skating. The Korogocho skating club now has over 100 members and the best skaters have competed as a team in competitions around East Africa. Our reporter Michael Kaloki has been to meet the club and one of its founders. Image: children roller skating in Nairobi's Korogocho slum Credit: Michael Kaloki
