Promote the Digital Storytelling Project for Street Children in Kenya
Thousands of children in Nairobi live on the streets and are exposed to abuse and poverty. AP Fellows have helped 17 of these children to post their blogs and express themselves on the World Wide Web. This has created huge demand among other children. In 2009, the Udugu Society will help more children participate in this exciting Digital Storytelling Project and use their new ICT tools to attack the causes of their abuse - glue-sniffing, homelessnes and drugs. AP is seeking $5,000 for this project.
The Undugu Society of Kenya's mission is to contribute to the socio-economic empowerment of street children, vulnerable youth and marginalized poor urban and rural communities through lobbying, advocacy, capacity building, access to education and training and creation of linkages aimed at reducing poverty for the attainment of decent livelihoods.
