Somali Orphans Reunion - Mapendo International

This short film offers a glimpse into the lives of six children who fled Somalia in 2002 for Nairobi after their mother disappeared and their father and grandfather were murdered because they were members of a minority ethnic group. Unable to seek safety in the refugee camp because of the notorious violence against minority ethnicities, the
children lived alone on the streets of Nairobi with 16-year-old Mohammed taking on the sole responsibility for caring for himself and his five siblings. On November 4th, 2008, with the help of Mapendo International - a non-profit agency that identifies and protects the most at risk refugees in Africa - the children were reunited with their grandmother and Aunt in Columbus, Ohio.
