This image depicts a severely polluted river environment in Nairobi, Kenya, specifically along the Nairobi River adjacent to an informal settlement. The foreground and right side are dominated by a massive, irregular mound of mixed waste, primarily consisting of multicolored plastic bags, bottles, and general refuse, interspersed with organic debris. A dirt path partially covered by trash runs along the far right. A dark, narrow river flows across the midground. Approximately six individuals are positioned near the river. On the immediate right bank, a person in a yellow shirt with a red backpack stands at the water's edge, facing right. Further left, four other individuals are visible: one in a blue shirt, one in light patterned clothing, one in a dark top, and one in a purple top partially submerged in the water. A sixth, smaller figure in a red top is visible further down the left riverbank. Their activity appears to involve wading or standing by the water. Across the river, a strip of green vegetation precedes a dense informal settlement characterized by numerous makeshift structures and corrugated iron roofs. In the background, several multi-story concrete residential buildings stand prominently. Two trees are visible: a large leafy tree on the left and a bare, branched tree on the right, from which indeterminate items are suspended. The sky is partly cloudy.
