Urbanization in most African countries has overstretched the available sanitation services, leading to unsafe disposal of faecal sludge especially among the urban poor. Recycling of faecal sludge into useful products is one of the ways to solve this problem as well as ensure environmental sustainability. This study assesses the awareness and attitudes of slum residents towards recycled faecal sludge products as well as barriers and opportunities for use. This was a qualitative study that used focus group discussions to collect data in three slums of Nairobi, namely; Korogocho, Viwandani, and Kibra. The community was aware of some of the recycled faecal sludge products; however, there were mixed attitudes towards the use of these products. The study identified religious, cultural factors, as well as infrastructural limitations hindering the use of products. More research, evaluation, and accreditation of FS products need to be done in efforts to ensure they meet safety standards and are of good quality. Radio spots in local radio stations and television programs as well as at the community levels using local leaders are good mechanisms of engaging the communities.
