The Voices of street children in Durban shelters

In the chapter, The Voices of street children in Durban shelters, Jackson Kariuki presents a powerful account the lives, concerns, anxieties, hopes, desires and aspirations of Durban children living in shelters. This is drawn from his recently completed Masters dissertation on street children and the agencies that deal with them in Durban. He argues that their views need to be solicited by adults and taken into account when planning shelters for them and the regulations which govern these.
