VOICED: Children's education at risk in Kenya's tribal divide

The video discusses the impact of the 2007 Kenyan elections and subsequent tribal violence on Isaac's family, who were displaced from their farm. It highlights the resulting segregation in schools, where children now learn separately by tribe. Despite past violence, Kikuyu parents express a desire for Kalenjin children to return to their schools. However, challenges remain as students are hesitant to mix, and the longer they stay separated, the harder it becomes to achieve an integrated society.
