The house was actually used for exterior scenes in the movie.

There are a few students at the Ngala School for the Deaf in Nakuru, Kenya, who, three months out of the year, live in a slum known as Bondeni -- described by one Utahn as wall-to-wall people living in mud huts with tin roofs and piles of garbage in the streets.
