Introduction

Kenya is in East Africa

A typical Kenyan house – quite small with an iron roof and mud-brick walls.

In Kenya, many families are not able to send their children to school because of the cost of pens, books and uniforms.

Many children in Kenya have to walk over a mile every day to get water.

Although children are often poor they joke around just like kids in the UK.

Top 5 problems for Kenyan children

1. Not always being able to go to school

2. Not having enough food

3. Sickness

4. Not having what they need (clothes, cutlery etc.)

5. Not having much time to play because there is lots of work to do
