• Recent research has revealed that a significant number of children joined the streets in Rift Valley Province in Kenya after the brutal violence that followed the 2007 elections in Kenya, many of whom still remain on the streets. These IDP children identified a number of factors that led them to join the streets: separation from their family caused by displacement; death or injury of family members; withdrawal of humanitarian aid; food insecurity due to loss of livelihoods or inability to rebuild livelihoods due to rushed resettlement programmes. The single biggest reason that children join the streets is food insecurity (59%). Adapted from the source document.
