jitegemee

Jitegemee is a Kenyan NGO created for the purpose of aiding street children in Machakos, Kenya. Jitegemee was founded in 2003 by Farah Stockman and Alex Mutiso, and has been supported since by grants and contributions. It is overseen by a U.S. NGO, Jitegemee USA.
Jitegemee means "sustain yourself" in Swahili and the program focuses on giving the street children the training and means necessary to become self-sustaining. Their work is ongoing and relatively successful insofar as around 130 children (as of May 2008) are participating in one of the programs Jitegemee has established. Common alternate paths for such children on the streets of Machakos include prostitution, drug-addiction, crime, and unskilled labor producing very little income.
