“There are people who live on the periphery of society
on the edges of our lives
People who aren’t given the same voice as everyone else.”

Kakuma Refugee Camp – melting pot of personalities, cultures, ideologies and religions.

He is one of many young people in the camp who is trying to use his skills and creativity to follow his passion to slowly change the dynamic of how Kakuma is looked at.
