Street Kids' Stories

Billy "I sleep in an abandoned house. Every morning I go to the market to try to get work. If I don’t get work, I don’t get any food. I go to sleep without eating."

Billy Onesmo, 15

James "I can’t remember how long I’ve been living on the street, it’s been so long. We never have the chance to relax. We’re always busy or looking for work, so it’s not easy to get a chance to play with your friends."

James Julius, 12

Hadija "I spend most of my time without food, walking around town looking for jobs. It makes me tired. It’s very difficult being on the streets. You suffer."

Hadija Salehe, who doesn’t know her age
