Kawangware Street Children Youth Project:
http://www.nextaid.org/kawangware.htm

Kawangware, a slum in the western part of Nairobi that is estimated to be made up of 65% children and youth. Infrastructure is in total disarray and the lack of social amenities causes the children and youth to spend their time in total idleness exposing them to extreme behaviors.

A gentleman by the name of Agasto Githaiga has dedicated all his adult years to tirelessly working to improve the living conditions and the personal well-being of the children, youth, and adults in his community. To describe Agasto as resilient and determined is a major understatement. Along with his partner, Morris Auka, who brings years of experience working with street children and youths at risk, and Agasto founded the Kawangware Street Children and Youth Project (KSCYP) in 2002. Their main objective was, and still is, to create opportunities for the lives street children and youth who are at risk in Kawangware. Love Fatigues LLC and NextAid are supporting the Kawangware Street Children and Youth Project by raising funds to build an eco-friendly, multipurpose facility that will be used for the program?s micro-business and host activities such as community trainings, youth feeding programs and child care or recreation.
