Once again, our children let their imaginations run free

The instruction: build something that looks like a dream. There were solid houses, colourful schools, cars to travel far away… and even a bridge to connect two worlds.

Behind every brick, there is a story. Behind every smile, there is hope.

These refugee children remind us that dreaming is still allowed, and that building together is already the beginning of peace.

Thank you to them for this beautiful life lesson.

As part of the Building Bridge Project (BBP) SEL programme, refugee children took part in fast-paced games to improve their reaction time and coordination.

These activities help strengthen concentration, self-confidence, and the ability to respond calmly to unexpected situations.

Learning through play also means preparing to react better in everyday life.

Thanks to the Building Bridge Project (BBP) , we have just launched a brand new programme: basic computer training for young refugees aged 12 to 17 who already take part in our SEL sessions.

The goal is simple: to give them basic digital skills so they can better navigate an increasingly connected world. Mouse, keyboard, word processing, online searches... They learn step by step, with curiosity and determination.

These young people are growing up in an environment where access to technology is very limited.

Yet their desire to learn is huge. Today, they are laying the first foundations of a future where they can study, work and communicate differently.

We are proud to support them on this new path.

When the search for water replaces the journey to school

During a community visit in Kakuma Refugee Camp, we met Joyeuse and her younger brother, both participants in the Building Bridges Project.

Under the scorching sun, they were collecting drops of water from a leaking pipe. Due to water scarcity, they missed school that day to help their family secure water for household use. Their story reflects the daily challenges many refugee children face.

Together, we can continue building bridges toward a future where every child has access to education, dignity, and opportunity.

We are HSD, We are refugee children.

In this video, refugee children aged 4 to 8 take part in a Social Emotional Learning (SEL) session at the HSD centre in Kakuma.

Through games, songs, and group activities, they learn to recognise their emotions, cooperate with others, and build their self-confidence.

No classrooms.

No lectures. Just children playing, laughing, and growing together.

This is what healing looks like. This is what resilience sounds like.

We are HSD. We are refugee children.
