Success StoryA Place to Call Home: Helping Kenya’s Street Children Start a New Life Today in Kenya, there are an estimated 300,000 street children. They are runaways escaping violence and abuse; orphans who have lost parents to AIDS; children abandoned by mothers and fathers who cannot care for them. Without love or support, they live at the margins of society and struggle each day to survive. Some scratch out a living by digging through trash and selling plastic bottles; others subsist by resorting to crime or prostitution. With the help of the Capable Partners Program, the Wema Centre is now a haven for hundreds of these vulnerable children. Founded in 1993 to address the needs of six girls living on the street, the Wema Centre has grown and expanded under CAP to provide education, vocational training, counseling and a number of basic services to more than 900 street children.
