During the Youth Leadership training on yesterday, I met a young woman named
Jane Wambui who works with youth on the street . She is a part of an
organization called “Tumaini Kwa Watoto” which means “Children of Hope” in
Kiswahili. I share her passion in providing a decent livelihood for youth who
have found a home in the street. It is a true epidemic in many countries and it
is something I would like to involved in resolving. Though the problem is
massive. Children find themselves on the street for various reasons including
parental abuse, hope for a better life in Nairobi, neglect, etc. The
organization reaches out to youth on the street to rehabilitate the and
reintegrate them into the home families. It is just amazing what they are doing
in Nairobi. She has invited me to join one of their street walks to participate
in reaching out to youth on the street. I am very excited.
For more information about the organization please see the link
