GEMS FROM THE GHETTOS

Barefooted, raggedly dressed, unkempt youth with glue-stained teeth! You see them everywhere in Nairobi. They flit through the traffic or drag themselves through the crowded streets, ignored or chased away when they solicit help from passers-by.
They make up approximately 70 percent of the ghetto population. Raised mostly by single parents, they have little educational qualifications and consequently limited employment opportunities.
Hence, they turn to crime, the one employment opportunity readily available to the unqualified and the ill provided.
One of the more outstanding achievements of Salesians of DON BOSCO, Nairobi has been that of shaping the moral compass of these children who with time, becoming agents of change in the ghettos.
