STREET CHILDREN

Street children are a growing concern for all the towns and cities in Kenya. In the year 2008, an initiative was invented by the children area Advisory council in Kakamega to ensure that the issue of Juvenile and delinquency issue is well handled. The team was selected and stakeholders come together on children issues to address the problems and put in place measures to mitigate the problem. The forum agreed to mop up children from the street, keep them somewhere for a week on the government departmental committee plan to take them to either children home or Bostol institution in Kakamega. They succeeded in mopping and collecting the children from the street, took them to a certain hotel for 4 days and later the children ran away because the members of the forum and committees did not put in place sustainable plan to solve the issue. Now the problem still persists.
