Shocking figures of young ones exposed to sporadic violence

Kenya; Statistics are hard to come on the exact number of children affected by sporadic violence countrywide.

However, data from the Child Welfare Society of Kenya (CWSK), the state agency charged with the care, protection, welfare and adoption of children, indicates cause for concern on the number of children exposed to high levels of violence. For instance, in the 2007/08 post-election violence, CWSK reached at least 52,112 children with psycho-social support and reunited 6,165 children separated from their families during the violence.
