Learn The Challenges That Kenyan Kids Face

By Megan Landry


Being a parent is not an easy task. This is because; it comes with loads of responsibility. However, this is the best experience that one can have especially if one has children that he or she can provide for. While some Kenyan kids live luxurious lives, others cannot afford having basic food. No parent wants to have his or her kid live such a live. After all percents work hard to see that, their children are happy and comfortable.

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.

The desire of all parents is to take their children to good schools. This is education is very vital. Apart from getting a good job after completing education, it helps lighten up ones mind. An educated person cannot equal a person who is not educated. This is because; some opportunity requires one to have knowledge and wisdom to exploit. However, some children are not able to go to school, due to lack of fees, food, and even shoes.

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.

Although children labor is not legal, most of the children have no choice but to be in it. For instance, think of a girl who becomes pregnant while at her early stages. If the girl has no people to support her raise her children, she will have to work to raise the kid. Boys without anyone to care for them are forced to work to put food in their table.

Some girls marry before their time. Sadly, some children are married against their wish. Their parents prefer marrying them instead for the sake of earning the money that come from dowry. In most case, some of the girls get married to old men. This is because; such men have money to pay their parents the money they require.

The future of every kid lies in having good education. While in school, children are taught good behaviors. They are also taught how to take care of themselves. This is a teaching that children cannot acquire outside school. Again, it is in school that a kid realizes his or her talent. If they do not get the opportunity of being in school, the kid may never realize their talents.

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.
