Street children in Nairobi embarked on unique a mission on Tuesday to collect money from motorists and well-wishers in order to take their colleagues to undergo the cut.

The street children carried the boys who were to undergo the cut in two carts and crisscrossed the city, asking well-wishers for money to carter for their circumcision and keep up during the healing period.

“We are asking motorists and well-wishers to contribute towards this cause so that we can take our colleagues for the cut. We go round Nairobi major roads looking for the money that is required for it” said one of the street kid.

The street children totaling about 30 in number had voluntarily decided to undergo the cut and were taken round on board a cart while stark naked, ostensibly to drive the point home.
