Boys and Girls Programs

The teenage boys program is growing in number although there are still more boys in the streets The male team members is to be having crafts with them in the month of March, later on the team will be taking them to see animals.
There have been a challenge of getting teenage girls from streets to come to the program. Although we have managed to bring three girls to boarding program i.e Ann Wambui from Grogon base, Jane from mlango through networking with Catholic Church priest and Florence Aoko from Mathare slums and she has been coming to program at Eastleigh. There were other older girls coming to the daily program and they have been sponsored to go college: Mariam, Mary, Fatuma, and Lucy Wambui they are in hairdressing course.
The older boys in the soccer are also been doing well with help of Kennedy and Anthony .There are five of them James in dressmaking, Peter in mechanic, Brian in ICT, Wambugu in ICT and Steve also in auto mechanic. These are men who have already stopped taking drugs. It has not been easy but it’s a choice they made and it’s a good one. In the previous year there were six of them in college but two of them did drop out but the rest four did the grade skill test three did pass and they were rewarded to do the driving test.
