It has I thanks our government shown a great concern to the well being of the children by introducing free primary and affordable secondary education for all, both from the rich and the less privileged in the society.

More so, they have taken great care of the aged people by giving them a monthly allowance to help cater for their needs.

Despite the government efforts to help alleviate poverty, some people are still not appreciative, instead of taking their children to school; they make them toil for cheap hard labour, while some are being forced into prostitution, all because of wanting money in return.

It is a high time; the community at large was taught on the rights of a child, so that when cases such as school dropout, defilement, molestation arise, they should take the necessary action so as to curb such vices from happening.
With these, we will be able to alleviate poverty by providing our children with education which will generate wealth through creation of employment opportunities.

I was seated guessing at the countless stars, then my friend asked, ’’What are you thinking’’?  But in that moment they were in my mind, ’’I was just wondering if I was a rich girl what I would do with all my wealth’’ I answered, ‘’and what would you do with it’’ he asked, ‘’I would like to see all the street children in school and living a happy life,

They think that sniffing of glue is the way of solving their problems out, but whenever it goes out of their head, while in hangover they come back to where they were, ooh poor children I feel pity to them.

I’m pleading to the government and nongovernmental organizations and also to those wealthy people out there to do something to these street children. I’m not forcing but I’m requesting, give them something to hold their future, like education or life skills training.

From the time I completed, life has always been full of struggles for me, since I have to look for ways and means of catering for some of the essentials I use on a daily basis, since I cannot ask my dad for cash to buy them.

I used to party a lot during my high school days, fun was one of my basic needs, and little did I know that it will reach a time that I would not crave for it, rather crave for life sustaining things. In the beginning of this year, my friends and I came up with an idea of forming a youth group comprising of eleven members.

This youth group has really helped many jobless and helpless people for example; there is a disabled member who we have rented for a house and another member who we provide with three meals a day, we also contributed money for one of our members whose mother passed on.

When Undugu Society of Kenya, came to our aid, we felt great, for they have changed the lives and future of many of us, by taking us for various skills training, based on what one wants to do as a career.

We thank Undugu Society Kenya for changing the lives of potential youths for the better, we thank you! We love you! Long live Undugu Society Kenya!

Poverty has become a daily disease, as it is following majority of us all over, hence making most of the people resort to crime, prostitution and other crimes, for survival.

In a certain ghetto, there is a girl called, ’Salome,’ 11 years of age. The little girl is six months pregnant, besides that, she is suffering from Tuberculosis, yet she is the one who still does all the house chores, then later, sells groundnuts, instead of going to school.

 Recently, her elder brother was killed by mob justice after stealing. Now Salome is the new sole breadwinner for the family. Meanwhile, her mother drinks illicit brew from the money she earns after selling groundnuts.

When her mother falls sick, Salome carries the burden alone of rushing her to the hospital for treatment, if the little money she has with her is not enough, they are always sent back home.

How and when will the poor get rid of poverty once and for all?

Earlier this week, l saw a three year kid being rushed to hospital after she a had touched live wires by the road side where she was playing with her friends, a man standing nearby saved the little girl by hitting the poor child’s finger with a piece of wood.

After a few minutes, the girl was pronounced dead. Incident like this could be avoided if people would taken proper measures or ways to acquire electricity this is through the Kenya Power and Lighting Company for your safety.

The government should ensure that everybody in urban centre has electricity including slum and ghettos inorder to avoid unnecessary accidents and death especially the children who in future they will great members in the society and the country at large.

One day, a small boy who was starving, as a result of lack of food, decided to steal a loaf of bread, when the shop owner realized, he raised alarm and within a few minutes, the mob beat the boy senselessly, till he died on the spot, the police presence worsened the situation further, as they never bothered to take any action against the mob.

Is this the best way to handle petty cases? To add salt to injury, many are the times the police pick youth s from the estates and slums, especially the jobless ones and say they are suspects, but they never see the light of the day as they disappear mysteriously never to be seen again.

Time has come for the police either to own up for their deeds or tolerate the needs and voice of the public, with the new constitution, many people have hopes that the police will perform their duties as expected of them.’Utumishi kwa  wote.’

There is a day a friend of mine called ,’Ciru,’ was walking along the streets dressed in school uniform when he spotted a man who called her, pretending he wanted to make some inquiries.

He introduced himself as ‘James,’ and started telling her that he had a daughter in the same school but could not trace where she was exactly, he was driving a Mercedes Benz that spoke volumes. When Ciru moved closer, James asked her if she would mind having a lift back home, since he could not trace his daughter.

Ciru did not mind at all, since he was an old man and looked responsible, she accepted the lift and when the man started driving, all was well only to be astonished half way. The man started caressing her force fully asking for other favors.

Ciru got shocked, tried to scream for help, unfortunately, no one could hear him, as the man was driving in full speed and the car windows were completely tinted, no one could see her to alert other pedestrians.

The man sped off to a lonely place and raped her before driving her again along Ngong forest, where he dumped her, and left her bleeding profusely, by her side, he had dropped sh. 40,000 before speeding off. Ciru could not scream for help as she was unconscious.

Lucky enough, there was a shamba boy who was going about his duties of searching for firewood, who came across Ciru and went on the sides of the road shouting for help, thereafter, good Samaritans came and rushed her to the nearby hospital, by the time they were arriving, she was already dead.

A sad moment it was for everyone, an innocent life was lost. Still, James was walking in all corners of Kenya free, it is a high time the Kenyan government made some changes in the constitution that will see all sex offenders hanged.

Within the same village, there used to live a man who was very unique. He was the wealthiest man within Ashton Village, his name was, ’Joseph,’ he would impress many and made many wonder at the same time, for he neither did, fishing not even farming but still managed to maintain his wealth. Whenever one asked him how he was able to maintain his wealth, he would always reply that it is God whom he was serving that was blessing him.

It reached a point that almost all villagers wanted to emulate him spiritually and would always pray asking God to bless them, the way He had blessed Joseph. Little did they know that the truth will finally come out one day. As the adage goes, it can never take forever for the truth to come out, his days were numbered but he never knew.

As it was the routine of police officers patrolling the village to ensure there was enough security, they heard a yell coming right from the bush and immediately rushed to see what was happening. So astonishing……….it was Joseph trying to get hold of an Albino by force, the police screamed and all the villagers got alerted and came out already armed. He tried to run away but it was already too late, he could not run away.

For the many years Joseph wealth was accumulating day by day, he was dealing in the illegal business of dealing in human trafficking but his 40 days of being caught finally reached and he was caught red handed.

Why do people like short cuts in life, it is a high time people learnt that hard work pays and it is through ones struggles in life that legal wealth comes.

I want to study fashion design because I’m crazy over colors. I love camping, travelling and watching TV. I hate swimming and football .

During my leisure time, l like joining youth groups instead of joining bad company. This changes my life positively through youth groups where we start income generating activities.
