FOCUS 2026
THE TEEN POETS OF DZALEKA
SITUATION OVERVIEW
The Dzaleka Refugee Camp was built for 9,000 people in the 1990s. Today, it shelters more than five times that number, mostly from Rwanda, Burundi, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Overcrowded and under-resourced, the camp leaves children especially vulnerable — yet many are transforming struggle into strength through art and storytelling.
OUR CALL TO ACTION
In 2026, as KEPYR marks its 10th anniversary, we will spotlight child displacement in Southeastern Africa and raise funds in support of African Youth Artistic Poetry (AYAP).
Just as our industry knows the power of storytelling, AYAP proves art is not a luxury — it can be a lifeline.
