Counselling initiative
By David Karanja | Project Leader
We have been trying out counselling and seeking professional counselling services for the street youth since they have undergone a lot of trauma that have led them to be pertakes of alcohole and substance abuse.
The counselling has helped in broadening their views and perspectives on life and has given them an understanding of why when certain things happen they result into certain activities automatically. We hope to make them better individuals a day at a time because the youths are the leaders of tommorrow and investing in them is investing in the future and the generations to come.
We also hope to partner with other wellwishers as well as the government to organise a vocational training for the young people. Thankyou GlobalGiving for the support

VISIT OF STREET YOUTH IN KIAMBIU SLUM
By David Karanja | Project Leader
We managed to visit the street Youth in Kiambiu during the festive season and we shared a meal with them as well as distrubuting clothes to them that were donated by the local community in partnership with K.A.G Church BuruBuru.During our session we were able to talk as well as advice them on the dangers of drug abuse and misuse. as well as mentor them in terms of spiritual nourishment .
We encouraged them to also use the resources available to them wisely i.e with the newly launched hustler fund which is a government initiative . We had a financial literarcy segment where we encouraged them to invest and use their money wisely .However, little it may be .
Our objective is to make them have a long term view and practice delay gratification as we realised thats the only we they can progress. Hence we encourgared them to write their vision and goals and what first step they can take to achieve them. Some said to start a smokie business. By investing some money from hustler fund within a couple of months that vision can come to pass because of the compound interest effect .
To conclude the street youths were glad we had an opportunity to empower them and also sharing a meal with them during this festive season.
A big thank you to all our supporters and well wishers from GlobalGiving. We are optimistic about this new year and we hope to do much more in our various project and have a greater impact in the society at large. We hope you would continue to support us to make this goal a reality.

FOOD PROJECT FOR STREET YOUTH
By David Karanja | Project Leader
As Tumaini we took on the inciative to rehabiltate 50 street youth by equiping them with skills in Tailoring, Mechanics, Beauty and other technical skills to improve their livelihood.
The youths are from a neighbouring informal settlement kinown as Kiambiu in Nairobi,Kenya. We are hopeful that we will continue to impact the lives of these youths with your continuous and generous donations.
Lately, we been able to hold gathering with them and creating awareness on the dangers of drug abuse and misuse and on others diseases such as HIV and STIs just to mention a few.
To encourage the street youth to came to these programs . We had a food program that would entice most of them to come and call their friends as well.
This wouldn't be possible without our selfless donations and believing in our noble cause . With more funds will be able to enrol them in technical schools for 3-6 months course programs where they can learn technical skills that would be able to a source of livelihood and improve their quality of life and that of their families.
They would also live more meaningful lives. The rate of crime and theft in the country will also reduce.
