At the launch of Children’s Service Week, USK demonstrated its commitment to advocating for children’s rights by supporting and actively participating in the events held at the Kisumu Law Courts ground. @Taksvarkki_ry @WeSeeHope @FfEC_Alliance @DeconesFoundation

This initiative, focused on the theme “A Justice System Fit for Children,” aims to create a more compassionate, accessible, and supportive legal environment for young people. @FfEC_Alliance @WeSeeHope

@undugu_kenya @WeSeeHope Child led initiatives indeed are avenues for addressing key issues affecting children and the community at large. Hongera @undugu_kenya for engaging Kilifi children.

Supported by @WeSeeHope, we recently rolled out a child protection project in Kilifi County. Through this project, we seek to reduce push factors that lead to streetism among vulnerable children in the county.

This year, under our @Taksvarkki_ry funded project, we are supporting 16 youth in vocational training among other initiatives. The training is aimed at enhancing their income security, while reducing their relapse to negative influences like drug and substance abuse and crime.

Our 2 years @commonwealthorg funded project has greatly helped to influence health seeking behavior of People Living and Working in the Streets (PLAWS) by building capacities and advocacy. The video (muted) captures moments between staff, Community Health Champions and PLAWS.

Boys protection from Violence, exploitation and abuse must be deliberate through systemic and household safe spaces, where their voice, quest for identity, growth and development is pursued with commitment to equality and justice. @Gvrckenya @Pendekezo_Letu @FFEveryChild

Child rights protection is wholly realized through acknowledgement of the plight of boys, enhanced community awareness and empowerment of the boys to speak up against sexual abuse. Boys need protection too. @FFEveryChild #UnitedForBoys #BlueUmbrellaDay @Gvrckenya

From streets to screens, no boy should suffer in silence. Let's raise awareness and take action against sexual violence. #BoysDeserveSafety #EndAbuse @FFEveryChild @Gvrckenya

Around the world, 1 in 13 boys experiences sexual abuse as well as exploitation or exposed to inappropriate sexual materials which have long-term negative consequences for boys’ health and wellbeing. We must act to protect boys from these consequences. @FFEveryChild @Gvrckenya

By challenging existing taboos and harmful social norms around sexual violence, we can encourage more boys to speak more comfortably about this issue and how it affects them. Let's empower boys to speak out against sexual exploitation. @Pendekezo_Letu @Gvrckenya @FFEveryChild

The exploitation of boys is an issue that demands our attention. Let's start the conversation and work towards a safer world for all boys. @Gvrckenya @FFEveryChild @UNICEFInnocenti @Pendekezo_Letu

'A story is best told by its owner.' Last year, through our @Taksvarkki_ry funded project, in partnership with @HRmuseo, documented stories of Street connected youth in Nairobi. The youth had an opportunity to view the final production ahead of an exhibition at @HRmuseo in March.

By our continued partnership with the Nairobi County Government, we are promoting inclusive health care delivery in support of People Living and Working in the Streets. Last week, we built capacities of healthcare providers on rights-based service delivery. @commonwealthorg

@undugu_kenya @KenyattaUni @t_milej @Frank_Aywa @mukoyaeric @Jobnjaraganu @john20joseph The fact is, there is a big relationship between homelessness and crime

Humbled to see that the memorandum prepared for the @undugu_kenya by our @KenyattaUni Clinical Research Centre students @Murakarudaniel, Mitchel Kakai, Luke Otieno and Violet Kanyimbiri mentored by @SengeEmmah and @MuchinaNg is online: undugusociety.org/reports/ Thx & to many more!

Thanks @KenyattaUni, @t_milej and the team for exposing legal gaps that exacerbate street connectedness of children. Having a home is their right. To many more! @Frank_Aywa @mukoyaeric @Jobnjaraganu @john20joseph

@undugu_kenya , a non-profit organisation that works with street families, paid us a visit today. We were pleased to hear about their work on protection and care of this constituent,

and we exchanged ideas to promote the participation of vulnerable groups in contributing to the national culture of Utu.

Last week, we held a camp for 50 newly recruited Street Connected Youths from Dandora and Kayole, as part of a 3-year transformation journey supported by @WeSeeHope. This activity promotes learning, team cohesion and self-reflection in a safe environment, away from the streets.
