Discover Why Some Kenyan Kids Are Not Able To Achieve Their Dreams

By Megan Landry


If you have a brighter future today, someone probably influenced your life positively while you were young. This is because; the future of every person depends on the kind of care and attention that he or she receives while young. While some children have many resources to cater for their future, some are unable to run their lives as required due to poverty. Some of the Kenyan kids live in slums and ghetto due to lack of care and attention.

In the third world countries, it is evident that most people are not financially stable. Talking of being stable financially, some people live below poverty line. They cannot manage giving their children the kid of a future that the children desire to have. Amazingly, people who cannot offer their children such amenities are known to have the more children than the financially stable people do.

It is the right of every child to get education. This is because; education is the key to success. It guarantees the child of a brighter future, despite having brought up in a poor environment. However, it is sad that some children drop from school while they are still young. This is because; poverty levels in most families hinder children from gaining education. A child cannot learn well if he or she is hungry. As a result, they drop from school.

Some of the children opt to run from their homes due to poverty. They prefer spending all their lives in streets. In the street, these children join bad companies. They start relying on drugs and alcohol for their survival. Some even sniff glue and other harmful substances. The implication of this is that they become drug addicts and lose their dreams and direction in live.

Apart from taking drugs, the children have to work to earn a living. They do hard works that leave their bodies worn out. For girls who become pregnant before they are married, they have no choice, but to work to earn a living for themselves and their children. Some of these girls indulge in to prostitution, while others look for a job as house cleaners.

Early marriages are also very common. You can be surprised to find a child who is below the age of fifteen getting married. Certainly, young people like them do not marry these girls. In most cases, old people marry them, after paying dowry to their kids.

Some people have come up to assist these children. There are different nonprofit making organizations that help such children. The children are able to continue with their education and live a comfortable live. Amazingly, these children prove to be brilliant and do great things. This is because; these children prove to be talented.

A child should live a comfortable live. As Kenyan kids from well up families, the children from these families should live comfortable lives as well. This is because; the future of such children is bright irrespective of the challenges that they undergo.
