Why is life so unfair?

Sometimes I walk in the streets and meet Street children, they are sniffing glue, eating from the dustbins, sleeping under the bridges and they have nothing to cover their bodies.....this really disturbs me and I ask myself why life is so unfair I wish I could take them to our house to spent the night there but that's not possible because they are hundreds of them especially in my country, do this children have families? Do they have parents? Or the parents are still in the streets. Do you have any feeling for these Street children?

Same here. I get quite disturbed and it is funny that most if not all have parents. I have met one who told me he comes from their home every morning. You should engage some and hear their tales but you have to be careful.

@Kosgey if they get used to borrowing they find school as a torture

When I went to metropolis of our country I have seen this streetchildren and as you described they are like that. How I wish I could help but its really to do it, we can give some foods and money but its hard to change their life.

@Akatheu I feel devastated my friend. You know Kenya is a rich country, if we stop corruption even for a single day we safe a million dollars, that's enough to feed to feed all the street children in Nairobi, Mombasa,kisumu,Nakuru and all other major cities.
