Why Milele?

We concentrate on an often neglected and marginalized demographic: older children who have been disregarded, overlooked, and unfairly labeled as 'too far gone'. These young men, despite their age, still face profound challenges and deserve a second chance at life.

Why do they end up on the streets?

In Kitale, Kenya, hundreds of boys have found themselves on the streets due to various reasons: poverty, cultural conflict, abuse, and neglect. Exposed to both violence and drugs on the streets their lives become a struggle to survive. Without intervention, there is a small chance they will survive past their 20's.
