Other areas of focus is the search for calm and good neighborhood that will help steer the families enjoy a reasonable environment that would positively impact their lives. History has reminded us time and again that stress can badly impact on ones life life and that is a reason to call on Ramogi Community to ensure that nobody would be subjected to homelessness at all cost. In achieving such set-up, we are in collaboration with Edmonton Community Housing and other stakeholders to ensure the rights and privileges of such families comes a priority.

Some of such students have been left orphans following the death of both parents and non to help shape their future. Ramogi Community will be conducting funds drive to ensure that these students obtain formal studies as they will be the future leaders of our society. It is obvious principle that it takes a community to raise a child and that is the drive Ramogi Community will be using to ensure that such young talents and not wasted in the society. Among other programs that Ramogi will be engaged in range from Street Rehabilitation in the Kenya. Its very true that some of these young boys and girls have proved to the society that they are worth a second chance. Under such set-up, Ramogi will work hand in hand with established Kenya organizations who are running youth rehabilitation programs and ensure that they future leaders get accommodated into formal sector learning upon realization of the rehab system.

EDUCATION AND COMMUNITY LIBRARY
The Kenyan Ramogi Community in Canada-Edmonton (KRCC-E) has realized the need to give future leaders and opportunity through supporting the youths in Kenya achieve their dream goals. It is realistically important to note that these children a number of them have been left orphans due to both parents deaths hence depends on their old grandparents to care for them. Some of the children in the society do not even have close relatives to support them upon the deaths of their close relatives and have been subjected to drop out of school and do menial jobs to support themselves. Some have been forced to get into early marriages by very old men who are either polygamous or retirees with nothing to show off. Sex slave: Young girls have been subjected to under-age sex slaves, a situation which is very risky considering the negative impact of related diseases as they are made to compete on unprotected sex to please men ego. Others have been forced to work as Nannies at very young age as the only means to support the rest of siblings. In that regard, Ramogi Community have the desire to ensure that such children are identified and put back to school and at least even finish high school. Under this program, KRCC-E will be engaging the general public to accept donations in form of Books, Clothing, shoes, school supplies, sanitary pads to ensure such children do not feel neglected. We accept toys as some of these children have never seen what a toy looks like and have completely no means to impact their learning process.
Ramogi Community is fronting for a Community Public Library that will enable youths to access and gain knowledge, and job search. This library will be equipped with Internet and, desk computers, printers and fax machines. Such facilities at the moment are only available in the main city and big towns but lacking in the community. We intend to have a joint effort by the County government (Kenya) to contribute towards such set-up. This facility will be powered by solar. We anticipate that the book donations will be very necessary as such projects.
