Thousands of children in Nairobi live without shelter, food, or family, chasing dreams of school or work that rarely come true. Afraid to return home as failures, they remain on the streets, where survival is the only law. They sleep in alleys or under bridges, facing violence, gangs, police brutality, and constant hunger. Many turn to drugs like heroin or industrial thinner to numb pain and hunger. With little support and growing criminalization, they remain invisible, caught between abandonment and a system that offers neither protection nor hope.
