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.
