Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Mathare, Nairobi’s second largest slum, until recently had a crime rate of 80%. With no work or schooling and nothing to do, most young people get involved in theft, drugs and prostitution, usually around the age of 13 or 14. Murder is common and HIV/AIDS is rampant.  I am walking across Britain in July 2012 to raise money for a fantastic project has been set up by local people to change all this. Its aim is to engage the youth in activities, provide work and train them to earn for themselves, rehabilitate drug users, prostitutes and criminals and encourage young people to take a full part in society. Already, with community policing by ex-gangsters, they claim to have reduced the crime rate from 80% to just 5%.  

In short I want to help young people in Kenya break the cycle of poverty they are born into through education and employment.  The money raised will enable young people to earn a living and get access to education.  In doing so many of these young people are able to avoid or leave a life of crime, destitution and poverty.
