The bigger picture of technology

The idea of a PEACE CARAVAN was conceived in October 2003 by VYP, as a young woman centre and drive initiative. Having been living in a slum area, Rachel Wambui Kung’u saw that a fire brigade took an hour and more to arrive at the area which is only 10km from the city center, incase of fire. The area with a semi permanent structure of timber and iron sheet, the fire could gutter down at least 50 homesteads leaving them homeless and several loss of lives. Also the increased paraffin depot in the area majority set in a residential plot caused Wambui heartache. School drop outs due to high school fees, thanks for the free primary education, which has seen majority of the children in school, and with families living for less than a dollar a day was at the peak. This caused insecurity and prostitution to look for a piece meal, drug trafficking, increased number of street children, early marriage for girls who try to look for opportunities, and majority of them having children at there teen age led to increased poverty and HIV/AIDS. Tenant landlord conflicts were in the open especially among the youth.
