What you need to know:

  • From a rudderless loiterer in the streets of Nairobi and Nakuru, a helping hand was stretched towards some hapless street boys
  • They took it with renewed hope and determination, dusted themselves up and grew wings to fly


Children have dreams, but fate does not always favour them. The dreams of street children many a time are far-fetched, unattainable fantasies.

About 250,000 to 300,000 children are living and working on Kenyan streets, and few have gotten a second chance at life.
