Caked in dirt and wearing nothing but tattered rags, hundreds of kids scrabble through the stench of over-flowing rubbish dumps in search of food.

These are the forgotten children of Kenya.

Abandoned by their country and their Government, these youngsters are forced to fend for themselves.

They have nowhere else to go and no-one to turn to after having their lives torn apart by the massacre that has swept across their troubled homeland.

Their parents have been brutally murdered and their homes looted, forcing them onto the streets of Eldoret, Kenya where they face a daily struggle for survival.

With no money, no food and no hope, these kids are forced into a life of crime, scavenging and have nothing but their bottles of glue to keep them going.

Those of you who saw this week’s special of the BAFTA-winning series, Ross Kemp on Gangs will have been touched by the plight of the ever-growing number of street kids, with some only months old cradling bottles of glue in their arms.

After watching it, Dpivision.com felt compelled to do something so we gave a donation, and today we are urging you to do the same.

Save the Children is working with ExStreet, a lifeline that has been thrown to the youngsters by former street kids who have escaped the horror of life on the landfill sites.

The organisation provides counselling, training and helping kids to get back into school.
