As kinship relationships and support networks across family lines
weaken with modernization, economic stressors take a great toll on
children. Kenya, like some other nations in Africa and around the
globe, has witnessed a rapid rise in street children. The street
children in Nairobi come from single parent families which are
mostly headed by women. Another group are AIDS orphans. This study
documents how street children in Nairobi follow survival strategies
including (for boys) collecting garbage, and (for girls),
prostitution. Gender is emphasized throughout the book. Although
impoverished families are the most likely to produce street
children, not all poor families have their children on the streets.
The problem of street children is a complex one that calls for a
comprehensive and coordinated policy and program for intervention
at all levels and in all sectors of society. Alleviating poverty
and rebuilding the family institution should be among the first
steps in addressing the problem.
