UNICEF Ongoing violence imperils health, education for Kenyan children
The atrocious violence that swept through Kenya after December's disputed presidential election has meant untold misery for children.Hundreds of thousands of children have been displaced, now forced to live in bleak camps and tents across the country. The violence erupted as children sought to begin their new school year. Typically a sanctuary for millions of Kenyan children, this new education year commenced with burning schools, teachers in hiding far from their classrooms, and
students fleeing homes as their precious books and uniforms were turned to ashes. Tonight thousands of Kenyan children will sleep with these nightmares, hungry and in crowded rooms. When they wake, many have no schools to go to. But amid the turmoil, UNICEF is ensuring protection and normalcy for as many children as it can. Education is providing a means.Safe now and back at a UNICEF-supported school on the edge of Nairobi's biggest slum, young Pinto Omondi has some advice for his country's leaders.
