Glory School, built 15 years ago just off the banks of Nairobi River, faces demolition when authorities set in to clean up the river, heavily polluted by an adjacent dumpsite. London-based rights watchdog Anesty International is warning that 127,000 people risk forced eviction when the clean-up begins.
