Tumaini Kwa Watoto


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 below.
