Kenya

The results we’d like to see

We want to:

Establish three drop-in centres, accessible to 4,000 children and young people living on the street, by 2009
Make contact with at least 90 per cent of the 4,000 through the centres and offer them a range of social, health, education and training services
Find long-term care solutions for 90 per cent of the children who come into contact with the centres
Help children reintegrate into schools
Help 1,500 young people outside the formal education system to get vocational training and find employment

In addition, by supporting the government, we want all the country’s street children to benefit from similar centres in the future
