Nyeri county slum youths face more or the same problems with other slum dwellers everywhere.
insecurity, unemployment, low participation in decision making,drugs and alcohol abuse, inaccessibility to financial resources etc.
It is time we came together as young people and start investing in ourselves. We should stop being complainers, and we must gain courage to start attacking the problems above.
we know we have problems and the more we keep talking about them, the more we are wasting time.
we need to stand once and for all and look for solutions. We have had numerous promises from politicians, donors, organizations, county government, national government and financial institutions on how our lives will change for the better.
Truly speaking, what has really changed?
Are our problems subsiding or becoming worse?
Are we the ones to blame?
Those are some questions we need to ask ourselves..
Why are we the worst abusers of alcohol?
why are we all rushing to chew Miraa at noon and spend most of our day seated complaining they are no jobs?
Why is there insecurity amongst us, and we know the criminals yet we keep them hidden in our midst because they don't hurt us?
We are the same youths who appear in national headlines stripping ladies, circumcising other men(watch the video above)raping chickens and donkeys(the truth hurts)!

The question remains?
ARE WE THE ONES TO BLAME FOR OUR PROBLEMS?
