In the largest slum in Africa, there is a ministry shining the light of Jesus and bringing hope through clean water. 

In Kenya, there is a place known as Kibera. It is known as one of the "darkest, filthiest, and most hopeless places in the world." Not only does this slum not have the basic necessities like clean water or sanitation, it's overrun with gang violence. 

The 'houses' in Kibera are usually eight feet by eight feet, created out of mud, used for sleeping and sitting.
