K300,000 Released For Street Kids Relocation

GOVERNMENT has released K300,000 for the relocation of vulnerable children from the streets in Kitwe to protect them from vices that endanger their lives.
Kitwe district commissioner Elias Kamanga said the funds will also be channelled to the reintegration of the street children in homes to enable them lead a decent life.
“The issue of street children remains one of the biggest challenges that the city of Kitwe is currently facing but we are happy that Government has been releasing funds to help us remove these children from the streets,” Mr Kamanga said.
He said this when Airtel Zambia donated assorted foodstuffs worth K4,000 to Friends of the Street Children, an orphanage looking after vulnerable children in Kawama township.
Mr Kamanga implored people intending to establish orphanages to consult his office on the procedures to follow.
He said some unscrupulous people in Kitwe are forming orphanages purporting to be supporting children and are siphoning money from the donor community.
Mr Kamanga said Government will continue to support genuine orphanages financially to enable them continue to take care of vulnerable children.
He commended Airtel Zambia for the support they have continued to offer in caring for the vulnerable children.
Airtel zonal business manager for Copperbelt, Robinson Sinkonde said the company, through its corporate social responsibility (CSR) programmes, has continued to assist in improving the lives of vulnerable people.
Mr Sinkonde said through programmes such as the Airtel Rising Star, Airtel Trace Star and the Airtel Internship, people’s lives in communities have been uplifted.
And Friends of the Street Children executive director Dalley Kafwimbi appealed to other stakeholders in Kitwe to emulate Airtel’s gesture of donating foodstuffs to the orphanage.
Ms Kafwimbi said the orphanage faces numerous challenges in looking after the vulnerable children and appealed to well-wishers for support.

When the Presidential Elections will be held on 20th January 2015, and if 2,539,925 people voted, which is nearly equally to the number of people that voted in 2011, 1,366,737 (53.81%) would vote UPND country wide and 880,087 (32.1%) would vote PF and 208,275 would vote MMD and 3.3% would vote FDD with a negligible NAREP % therein, therefore the current opinion poll based on 50 sampled registered voters in each of the 10 [provinces by province weight of voter numbers and with a margin of error of +- 3% results are as follows: Lusaka HH-44%, EL-44%NM-9%, EN-3%, Luapula HH-33%, EL- 59%, NM-13%, EN- 5%, Northern HH-30%, EL-58%, NM-10%, EN-10%, Muchinga HH-29%, EL-52%, NM-12%, EN-4%, Central HH- 54%, EL-34%, NM- 11%, EN-1%,Eastern HH-61%, EL-35%, NM-3%,EN-1%, Southern HH-89%, EL-6%, NM4%, EN-1%, Western HH-76%, EL-16%, NM-4%, EN-2%, North Western HH-82%, EL-8%, NM-5%, EN-1%, Sondashi-4%. These are based on the Product probability sum of averages of voter ratios. This gives HH 53.81% of the national vote with EL on 34.17% in this more exhaustive approach, my margin of error is 3%, and that HH’s pessimistic result in this scenario will be 50.81% and EL’s optimistic result will be at 37.17%. Seeing that now this is a two horse race, by deduction, we deduce HH to be president elect come January 20th, 2015.
Kindly note that the voter numbers are 304,000 for Northwestern, 314,000 aprox for western, 644,000 for Eastern, 625,000 for Southern, 827,000for the Copperbelt and 748,000 for Lusaka and we are dealing with roughly 50% turn out (Was actually 52% turn out in 2011). Other sets of moving averages have been used to determine the expected number of voters with discounted voters on the basis of rains, deaths, lost voters cards and other factors of motivation and apathy. The sets of 50 Sampled individuals have been sampled more than once between November 1 and December 22nd 2014.

Releasing money doesnt solve the problem, this is a cycle that will lead to highway of nowhere. Govt, even next Govt has to look at long term strategies that will sustain the lives of these kids, create trade schools, train them. Relocation is just waste of money these kids will soon go back to their streets after they sell the new clothes they got, get more glue to sniff and cheap beers.
