Street Children

I happened to meet one of the street children,and he was like, 'aunt give me five bob',I wish I had it.I then started wondering such a small kid what could have happened to his parent are they alive?,and if they are why abandon such a precious thing and if they aren't don't he have relatives.
This is when I started wondering what leads to the rise of street children at first I thought it's because they don't have parents but don't they have relatives,on the other hand I thought poverty has also contributed a lot to this, some don't have places to live and if they do they live a very hopeless life . I rely wonder can't their parents do something constructive that can help them support their children, like the simple casual work just to earn them something little to support their kids basic needs?On the other hand I think we are all Kenyans , we have and should be our brothers and sisters keeper. I and you have the responsibility to take care of one child and another one has lets all join hand to help them. This children are just like our own they need to be loved.They sleep sleepless nights and they need a place where they can sleep comfortably,somebody who can fill their hungry stomachs,someone who can take them to school ,and who is to all this work for them it's us,we Kenyans .
