Mombasa is home to more than 30,000 street children from all over Kenya, with many more orphaned by HIV/AIDS.
The overall result has been a dramatic increase in the number of children, who are living on the streets. Without the means to make any kind of living, they are subject to severe poverty, abuse, drugs and worse.
While some children do have surviving relatives to take them in, often the families cannot fully support them, and are able to provide little more than a roof and the occasional meal.

Amani is heading to Kenya in June to work with children in a rescue centre in Mombasa. The project endeavours to offer support and advice to young people affected by homelessness, poverty and/or the HIV/AIDS epidemic.
