Young kids in Nairobi estates are losing it. When you look at the videos being shared on social media platforms, showing very young kids clout chasing, fighting, and moving around like gangsters, you’d be astonished.

Of course the first thing you ask is, ‘Where are their parents?’ It seems obvious that the root cause of such developments is lack of good parenting. But once you dig deeper, you realize it’s not as simple as it looks.

In Umoja, one such estate, parents leave for work every morning before sunrise and come back exhausted at night. In this gap, kids are raised by the streets, social media, and peer pressure. As a result, we get the Gen Alpha Gangs of Umoja.
