Kosovo, Uthiru, once a desolate and crime-ridden area in Nairobi, has transformed into a thriving "village of churches" with over 300 congregations. What was once a place of lawlessness is now seen by residents as a safe haven, despite the chaotic and densely packed nature of the makeshift sanctuaries.

• Over 300 congregations operate within a one-acre plot.
• Pastor David Likoko of New Life Neighbour Christian Church, a long-serving clergy member, recounts the area's shift from a crime den to a place of worship.
• Churches, often paying Sh21,000 in monthly rent, have brought order and community support, though residents highlight the lack of basic amenities like toilets as a major challenge.
