Young people who have already lived the “gangster life” in Kenya's capital have become farmers with a social mission. Now they cultivate food, feed neighborhood children and run other projects.
Joseph Kariaga and her friends have already lived the “life of gangster” at Nairóbi's Mathare favela, snatching phones, assaulting people and fighting the police.
But when Kariaga's brother was shot dead by police, the young people took stock. “We changed after many died, my friends, so many.
Even my brother, “says Kariaga, now 27.” We decided to change to be the youth ambassadors. “
Now men are farmers with a social mission. Only a dozen of them founded Vision Bearerz in 2017 to push young people away from crime and address food insecurity in one of Keny's poorest communities.
Despite the challenges, Vision Bearerz causes a modest but significant impact, including feeding over 150 children to lunch each week.
Some residents praise the group and call the models of models of men. Foreign funding cuts throughout the United States and others, experts say local organizations like this may be the future of aid.
Vision Bearer works on a hidden urban farm on the muddy streets and corrugated metal houses that make up Mathare, one of Africa's most populous slums.
Estimates say about half a million people live in this neighborhood of less than two square kilometers.
About two million people, or 60% of the population of Nairóbi, live in informal settlements, according to CFK Africa, a non -governmental organization that manages health and poverty reduction programs in such neighborhoods and is familiar with Vision Bearerz's work.
The lack of infrastructure is a key challenge in these communities, which are growing amid the rapid urbanization of sub -Saharan Africa and the expanding youth population, says Jeffrey Okoro, executive director of the group.
Poverty leads young people to crime, Okoro adds. “One of the main challenges that affect young people in slums is gangs and attraction to make it rich or get money fast,” he says. “Many of them end up joining these gangs that then offer an opportunity to become a man, to make a living, and is so attractive.”
Bearerz vision farmers know this well.
“We were going through tall and downs like money, so we had to get it from wherever we could,” says Ben Njoki, 28, whose face tattoos are reminders of a gang-affiliated past.

Uncertainty surrounds the location of 19 migrants deported to Ghana
– Africa news, Trending Politics and Celebrity Gossips & Entertainment from Across the Continent. Stay ahead with the breaking Afri latest news, alongside up-to-date celebrity gossips and entertainment news!
Nineteen West African citizens deported from the United States to Ghana were transferred to undisclosed locations under armed guard, their lawyer revealed Thursday, raising alarms about the fate of migrants removed under the Trump administration’s controversial third-country deportation program.
The group, which arrived in Ghana on November 5th and was initially staying in a hotel, has been completely inaccessible since being transported in two separate movements.
Lawyer Ana Dionne-Lanier reported that part of the group was transported by bus to an unknown location on the border over the weekend, while her client and others were transferred “under heavy armed guard” on Wednesday.
“We don’t know the location of any of them,” he said, highlighting that the families have lost all contact with the deportees who are protected from repatriation to their countries of origin due to the risks of torture and persecution.
Controversial US deportation program expands
The disappearances come in the context of a largely secret US program that has sent dozens of deportees to at least five African countries since July, including Eswatini, Rwanda and South Sudan.
Human rights experts have widely criticized the initiative, questioning whether immigrants receive adequate screening before deportation and citing violations of international protections for asylum seekers.
The program represents the administration’s effort to remove migrants who cannot be easily deported to their home countries due to court rulings.
Legal challenges mount against deportation deals
Human rights group Democracy Hub of Ghana has filed a lawsuit alleging that the agreement with Washington is unconstitutional because it bypassed parliamentary approval and may violate conventions that prohibit return to countries where people face persecution.
Meanwhile, the US Department of Justice argued in federal court that it has no control over how another country treats deportees, despite having obtained a commitment from Ghana not to return them to their countries of origin, leaving the fate of the nineteen missing West Africans uncertain in a context of growing diplomatic and legal tensions.

UP Varanasi: Bulldozer in Dalmandi, livelihood of 50 thousand people in danger
– South Africa latest news today, politics and trending Gossips in African nations. Stay ahead with the breaking Afri latest news, alongside up-to-date celebrity gossips and entertainment news!
The controversy seems to be deepening once again regarding the ongoing road widening campaign in Varanasi district. People are angry over the action of bulldozers on shops and houses in Dalmandi street. Traders say that notices have been pasted at about 10 thousand shops, due to which the livelihood of more than 50 thousand people is in danger. They allege that the government is making the poor homeless and this entire matter is politically motivated. Dalmandi traders met Chandauli MP Virendra Singh on Tuesday evening, where the MP said that he will convey the traders’ views to the Central Government. The traders bluntly said that if Dalmandi Gali is widened, their business will come to a standstill – in such a situation they are ready to go to court.
