Street
Kids:
1. Street and other children in need from
Kitale town: Kitale town has a large population of
street and for the street children. These children fall
into three basic classes; those who live on the streets,
those who frequent the streets during the day and those
who live at home but often make excursions to the Kitale
streets. All of these groups are to an extent dependant
on begging, scavenging, doing odd jobs and petty crime.
All of these groups are also vulnerable.
2.
Children in need and 'for the street' from the project
environs: The project is at Liyavo village which is a
settlement of mainly IDPs who fled their homelands
during the ethnic violence of the early 1990s. Most
families have small plot of or an acre. Some have been
issued title deeds while the majority remain technically
squatters. The socio-economic situation within the
settlement is poor with most families relying on
seasonal casual labor for subsistence. Alcoholism is
also a common problem.
The ethnic clashes,
HIV/AIDS and general squalor have all taken their toll
and left many children in the 'care' of distant
relatives and/or ageing grandparents. General poverty
and helplessness means many of these children would not
receive an education at all and malnutrition is common
place.
3. The communities in which the project is
based: By assisting the community with such things as
access to potable water, affordable health care, and
improved infrastructure such as roads directly and
indirectly improves the quality of life for the
community in general, who in turn are more able to care
for their own children. |
