CASE STUDY/ NEED IDENTIFIED
• There is no official figure on the number of homeless children in Kenya, a sign of the lack of interest by Kenyan authorities of the problem.
• An international charity suggests the number of street children could be as high as between 250,000 and 300,000 throughout Kenya, including 60,000 in Nairobi alone.
• Many leave their rural areas - where traditional community ties have loosened - for cities, where they have more chance of surviving by begging, finding odd jobs, scavenging rubbish sites, or prostitution.
• Girls face an especially tough time.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTION PLANS OF THE PROJECT
1. To create awareness of the plea of the homeless families in the streets of Nairobi
2. Mobilize youths to donate clothes, food and cash to help the needy in the streets
3. To impact 100+ street families with love, clothes and food stuffs
4. To keep the conversation going on how to do something sustainable for the homeless
ACHIEVEMENTS OF THE PROJECT
1. Within a week collected enough clothes to give to over 100+ street families of all ages
