A meeting with the kids on the street

So I met this melanin beauty (picture above) during an outreach to feed street kids organized by SI4DEV(strategic innovation for development). She hawks pure water to support her single mother who happens to be a widow. She's quite intelligent, and knows what she wants out of life, thought the resources ain't there. I was quite stunned at her level of intelligence, I fell in love immediately. She's an epitome of a strong woman, beautiful, smart, and bold. For a girl of her age, she's been through a lot. I'll love y'all to meet Precious, a street kid.

Most of the kids we see out on the street, go through a lot, they are victims of rape, maltreatment, abuse.Some of them are so angry at life as a result of what they're being exposed to. Some sleep are into prostition at their tender age in order to feed themselves, while some had to leave their homes due to maltreatment from guardians,leaving them currently homeless, sleeping on the streets. To be honest stories from these kids will leave you crying uncontrollably. If you are in a position to help a street kid, please do not hesitate.
