DESCRIPTION

We are Cheddaz, Donga and Kissmart and we come from Mathare slum. We grew up in the streets of downtown Nairobi and we would love to take you on a journey with us. This is not a standard tour and we will tell you how we used to survive on the streets: how and where we slept, how our days used to look like, our hardest challenges and the different forces we needed to cope with. You will get insight into a life in this neighborhood you would otherwise probably not hear.

All our stories are different and the reasons why we were forced to live on the streets vary. We found each other through music and it changed our lives tremendously. Nowadays we volunteer and try to inspire other street kids with our stories.

Price included:

  • 3 local private tour guides
  • Snack & water

We are Cheddaz, Donga and Kissmart and we come from Mathare slum. We used to be streetkids. In order to change the lives of streetkids we started this tour project to raise awareness, give people insight in this life and earn some money to help these kids get out of the streets.

i really enjoied the morning tour with the former street kids. they are actually grown up men, may be they look older then they are. they are bright and wise, have good ideas in their heads, see the world with true open eyes. i was very touched by listening to them, they were as well opening our eyes, as well as our hearts. they became very strong but, i think as well, open minded men. i wish them all the best. sibylle

Tour that is absolutely worth it. We had an unforgettable afternoon with the guys. They shared the impressive stories about their lives and took time to give explanations and answers to our questions. You really get to see Nairobi through their eyes. Also great to see how passionate they are about their job and how driven they are to improve the lives of others who are in the same situation as they once were. Highly recommended!

What an amazing tour this was! One of the best I had so far. The reason is not because what you see is beautiful, but it is the insight and the personal stories about life on the streets in Nairobi as a kid. I was all ear. Kissmart, Cheddaz and Donga told me how they end up at the streets, how they survived and what they had to do for it. They stressed their stories with showing the actual places in town where they use to hang out. You get an insight how this part of Nairobi is organized. Wow, guys, thanks so much!
