Kinamba Neighborhood

The Kinamba Youth Group Neighborhood is a rural yet very traditional area.   Here you will find homes constructed of a variety of materials such as stone, iron sheets or mud.  Few of the homes have access to electricity. This area is very dependent on agriculture and tourism. Shopkeeping, such as a green grocer, charcoal selling and salons, are common in this area. Sheep and chickens are also reared here. 

You may notice in many profiles that a number of youth are completely orphaned or abandoned at a young age.  They typically are taken in by a relative, guardian or generous community member until they are old enough to sustain themselves.  Also, when you see youth living in semi-permanent or temporary housing, it means that they are living on government-owned land which can be taken from them at any time.  Inua works diligently to ensure that all youth in the program are in safe housing and have enough bedding for each family member.
