The Post Election Crisis in Kenya

The post election crisis in Kenya has had far reaching effects to many sectors of the economy in Kenya. Many families have been displaced from their natural homes to the now commonly referred to as internally displaced persons camp (IDPs).

Most worrying though is the effect the crisis has had on children. Children including school going ones have had to discontinue their education, with many now separated and traumatised by the unfolding events.

Although a number of child rights organisations have come in to help, a lot still need to be done since security is still a major concern and prerequisite fro these families to return.

In effect, all concerned parties, including politicians, civil society organisatiions and communities have role to play for children to return to their homes and continue with education and normal life.

This is the wish and cry of many children affected by the conflict in Kenya
