Sumaili, the girls and their family members were forced from their homes with extreme violence > war, pillage, rape > and drifted to this encampment designed for 50,000 people, now hosting 200,000 refugees, largely from two of the most cruelly impacted regions on Earth: Congo and South Sudan.

Many get stuck in this setting. Sumaili was 9 years old when he escaped Congo. He is now 21. Can you imagine growing up in a refugee camp on a dry piece of land in a country where no one wants you, where people distrust you, where you have no right tom work, a country not rich like Germany, but with the limited resources typical of Africa, rife with sudden conflict (for example, during election times, Kenya erupts with riots and killings) which means the last people to receive the full benefit of rule of law and opportunities are those swept onto the fringe : refugees.

What’s bad and inhumane in the US, Britain, France and Germany is multiple times worse here.

What do you think are the chances of girls refused even the level of education provided at schools in refugee camps in Africa?

With no way to return to their civil war torn countries of origin, a world closing its borders on refugees and migrants, and government and wealthholders failing in all regards, their future is uncertain.

To understand the gravity of the situation, we must realize that

• mass rape of girls
• mass parental ban on girls to receive a school education

means that THE RULE OF LAW is not existent or enforced in camps

• no moral law
• no national law of host countries
• no global law in UN charters

which means that both UNHCHR camp administration and national government fail their duty of stewardship towards these millions of children. This is a scandal that is not even mentioned in refugee crisis reporting, but we also know that it’s not even worth making it a scandal since

• there is not enough finance
• there is not enough manpower

to police and incarcerate millions of serial rapists.

Hence, we focus on THE SOLUTION: to empower youth to implement a flurry of solutions with immediate and long-term effects on their local situation and on millions of adults and youth learning of their fierce positive spirit, witful approach and rich support network via media.

At age 18, Sumaili asked his father, making an income as medical doctor temporarily employed to help during the pandemic, to buy him a mobile phone and learn solutions from the internet. Since then, his priority and regular expense has been phone “minutes”.

Since the camp is in a dry region, people hardly feel like making it their long-term home and lack sense of stewardship – but are stuck (Sumaili has been there for 12 years) and we hear of monthly rations of 4 kilos of rice, 4 kilos of flour and 1 litre of oil. Are you ready for a Lifestyle Challenge to live on this for 1 month? They are blissed with this by national government and the global community for 12 months a year.

Hence, their goal number one has been

• to diversify food supply with fresh vegetables and fruit

accompanied by

• music video production on permaculture, land care, water and peace
• dance production

and the WISH to better the situation of GIRLS

• reduce violence and rape
• improve access to education
• improve access to self-development
• improve access to life in liberty

which is why they respond with such high interest in YL’s stories of teenage hero*ines, in long-term collaborative partnerships with schools for powerful support, in our diverse programs for local use to

•  make their headquarter awesome
• animate life at camp
• grow reach to youth, children and grow their crew
• grow support among adults
• reach into schools
• spark more teams, student clubs, headquarters
• spread their story to media and schools internationally

all of which strengthen another.

They are defined as MILESTONES below.

Now let’s write those next chapters together.

Wield your powers!
