NAIROBI, KENYA - MARCH 18, 2010: In Jericho, a district on the outskirts of Nairobi, Kenyans assemble to watch a boxing match featuring members of the Kibera Olympic Boxing Club.

Within Kenya's progressive youth culture is the Kibera Olympic Boxing Club, a group of low-income adolescents from the slum whose leader uses boxing as a way to engage with idle youth. The group's ethnic diversity is remarkable given Kenya's 2008 post-election violence in which people from several tribes were forced violently out of slums. Together, these boxers represent a nascent trend of cross-tribe brotherhood in a healing nation.
