This month we go back to Zambia for an enlightening conversation with Kumbutso Phiri, a development specialist. Kumbutso works with a wide range of topics, but in this conversation, we explore the topic of street kids who live on the streets of Lusaka, Zambia’s capital city. Kumbutso gives us insight into the demographics and societal infrastructure of the street kid population. While the exact number of street kids is difficult to estimate due to a lack of effective ways to definitively count them, Kumbusto believes the number is rising rapidly. This is a generational problem with many babies being born onto the street. Join us for this deep dive into the problems of urbanization, neo liberalization, and wider global pressures that are pushing and pulling people to the streets.
