Download or read book Rehabilitation of Street Children in Kenya written by John Kabutha Mugo and published by Iko. This book was released on 2004 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The reality of children working and living on the streets has posed a great challenge in Kenya. Scholars have made efforts to explain why it occurs and what might be done about the situation through various studies and research projects. However, research with these children has so far been centered mainly on the causal factors and the nature and impact of life on the streets, through bibliographic details. This book offers an analysis of present interventions. Through qualitative social research, the author focuses on the dynamics in the educational rehabilitation of children working and living on the streets of Kenya. John Kabutha Mugo studied music education at Kenyatta University in Kenya and education for children with special needs at the University of Hannover, where he was awarded a doctorate. He has written about children, child labor, and violation of children's rights.
Download or read book Effects of Stigma on the Rehabilitation of Street Children in Kenya written by Kennedy Karani and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2014-06-19 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is based on my experiences of working with street children for years in Nairobi. Street children are ostracized from the main stream society and they are invisible to the society. They are children who come from troubled and dysfunctional families. They are associated with crime and therefore not entertained at all by the society. They scavenge for food and as a result they have been labelled "Chokora" Chokora in Kenya is a derogatory Swahili term synonymous with scavenging. It is treatment like this that plunges street children into deep abysmal stigma that impedes the process of rehabilitation. The research that bore this book vividly brings to light the dynamics of stigma and what can be done to curb it. Educators, planners and social practitioner working for and with street children can find this handbook handy.
Download or read book Street Children in Kenya written by Philip L. Kilbride and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2000-03-30 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As kinship relationships and support networks across family lines weaken with modernization, economic stressors take a great toll on children. Kenya, like some other nations in Africa and around the globe, has witnessed a rapid rise in street children. The street children in Nairobi come from single parent families which are mostly headed by women. Another group are AIDS orphans. This study documents how street children in Nairobi follow survival strategies including (for boys) collecting garbage, and (for girls), prostitution. Gender is emphasized throughout the book. Although impoverished families are the most likely to produce street children, not all poor families have their children on the streets. The problem of street children is a complex one that calls for a comprehensive and coordinated policy and program for intervention at all levels and in all sectors of society. Alleviating poverty and rebuilding the family institution should be among the first steps in addressing the problem.

Download or read book Working with Street Children written by Unesco and published by UNESCO. This book was released on 1995 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Governments have traditionally left the plight of street children and working children, who by some counts number over 100 million, to individuals and nongovernmental organizations, including many religious organizations. As a result, there are a multitude of small, uncoordinated, but highly effective projects throughout the world concentrated in urban areas. The 18 case studies presented illustrate the work carried out by these organizations and demonstrate how rehabilitation can be conducted working with and for children. Part 1, "Reinsertion through Education," looks at seven projects characterized by efforts to ensure the reinsertion of street and working children into their families or mainframe society through education. The four projects in part 2 rely on work rather than education in their efforts. Part 3 describes three projects that concentrate on improving the situation of children by teaching them to use the street environment and by capitalizing on their experiences and practical intelligence. Part 4 concentrates on the administration of projects for street children. The case studies are presented without commentary to form a collection of results and ideas to stimulate imagination and interest, particularly among those responsible for government policies. Valid solutions will come only from strong governmental commitment. (SLD)

Download or read book And Now My Soul Is Hardened written by Alan M. Ball and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1996-11-06 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Warfare, epidemics, and famine left millions of Soviet children homeless during the 1920s. Many became beggars, prostitutes, and thieves, and were denizens of both secluded underworld haunts and bustling train stations. Alan Ball's study of these abandoned children examines their lives and the strategies the government used to remove them from the streets lest they threaten plans to mold a new socialist generation. The "rehabilitation" of these youths and the results years later are an important lesson in Soviet history.
