Why Education Matters – and Why It Protects
Education is not only about academic success; it is one of the strongest forms of protection for vulnerable children.
Through our work with Tumaini Kwa Watoto in the Counties in Kenya, we have learned that keeping boys and girls in school does far more than cover learning; it actively shields them from harm. Our focus on Girls specifically: Girls who are out of school are at significantly higher risk of exploitation, particularly sexual exploitation. In many cases, the simple act of seeking school fees from strangers or even authority figures; can expose them to pressure to exchange “favors” for support.
How We Do It?
Our Strategy and Approach
Tumaini Kwa Watoto (TKW) and its partners have uniquely positioned themselves to help rescue children from the streets. Primarily living on the streets of Nairobi. We rescue the children from street life, trace their family, reunite, reconcile and reintegrate them back to their families or place them in a foster family. Reconciliation and reintegration addresses the issues that led them to the streets allowing children to settle in peaceful habitations, in the comfort of their homes and continuation of family life and education. We take preventative measures to ensure that the children stay at home where they belong. Our model is a process we have developed over many years of experience and expertise in the field of working with children living on the streets. Learn more about our work strategy and how we do it

The process of rescuing a child from the streets begins with regular visits to the streets by our Team in order to build relationships with children and give them confidence in who we are.
Rescue
Rescue
The process of rescuing a child is not a simple one. We work together with governmental agencies and in accordance with all the laws and regulations to ensure everything is done the right way and with the child’s best interest in mind.
Reintegration
Reintegration
Many of the children on the streets come from broken homes and dysfunctional families. There is therefore much work to be done with the child’s family for effective reintegration with them.
