Kibera’s experience highlights the critical need for youth mentorship in vulnerable communities. Young people facing poverty and peer pressure are at high risk of turning to crime. Kibera, having walked a difficult path, can serve as a mentor who understands those struggles firsthand. Community programs that connect at-risk youth with mentors help provide guidance, hope, and alternatives. Mentorship is a powerful tool to prevent crime before it starts and to redirect lives toward productive futures.
