Inside Makoko: A Floating Slum in Lagos, Nigeria |
|
'Makoko is one of Africa's most neglected settlements. The Makoko Community sits on swampy land located at the edge of Lagos Mainland. This riverine fishing settlement was founded by families who migrated from the Benin Republic in the 19th century. Being a community that barely features on the map, it's difficult for this community to get the support that they deserve'
Café One introduced 'Chess and Coffee' to build a support community for chess lovers, and fundraising to provide education for children chess players in Makoko. Together, let's give them an equal opportunity for the better education that they deserve. Click the link bit.ly/CafeoneChessInSlumFundraiser to support a child. |
