Kibera is a large suburb in Kenya in which a million people live under difficult conditions as it comes to scarcity and high mortality rate. Here, a lot of children do not choice in living on streets. Thus, whatever option to progress is rather limited.

Karaban was a project developed by at least Elena Milà and David Vilanova with the aim of pedaling from Andorra, a small country in Europe, to Kibera to bring opportunities to 22 children. This 12,000 km trip proposed being sponsored with €50,000 to allow the children being accepted in important student residences, with personalized following, until university or microcredits if they want to become entrepreneurs. However Karaban brought a little bit of hope to Kibera, most of the hope is provided by the NGO Kings and Queens of Kibera which works on the field since 2011 to help Kibera inhabitants develop a better future.

Regarding the bike trip, Elena and David experienced some tough moments such as crossing Namibia (a country with the second lower population density), the Namib dessert (up to 45ºC and few water and food sources), a cub came across in a forest, a scorpion appeared inside a saddlebag, howls of jackals at sunset, etc. However, it is important to appreciate the good moments as when sleeping in farms, haystacks or schools at night. And above all optimism and positivism are the two most important ways of living when facing serious drawbacks, from feeling your mind and body tired to not having a source of water in kilometers ahead.
