This qualitative study explored life experiences of children living on the streets in Eldoret, Kenya. A total of 15 children (males = 60% and females = 40%; aged 6 to 18 years) took part in the study. The authors thematically analyzed data collected through individual interviews to explore life at their homes which resulted in them living on the streets and life on the streets itself. Implications are further discussed, and the authors propose that affirmative action is needed to strengthen families so that children could be rescued from the streets and be reintegrated into their families.
这项定性研究探讨了肯尼亚埃尔多雷特街头流浪儿童的生活经历。共有15名儿童（男性占60%，女性占40%；年龄在6至18岁之间）参与了该研究。作者对通过个人访谈收集的数据进行了主题分析，以探究导致他们流落街头的家庭生活以及街头生活本身。文中进一步讨论了相关影响，作者建议需要采取平权行动来强化家庭，以便让孩子们从街头被解救出来并重新融入家庭。
