Mr.
Aden Salat Hussein
Camp Youth Leader

Aden is originally from Somalia, and has been living at IFO refugee camp in Dadaab (Kenya) since he was 13. He speaks English and is 22.
Aden started Scouting at the refugee camp a few years ago and became a passionate Scout leader giving back to his community and leading sustainable development initiatives in the camp.  Aden has been elected Camp Youth Leader by the refugee camp and he credits Scouting for his success. As a Scout, he is leading initiatives such as community gardens, reforestation, and peacebuilding activities between different communities. As a local Scout leader, he ensures that other young refugees will keep benefiting from the Scouting programme without the need for volunteers to travel to the refugee camp from other part of Kenya. He has an inspiring story about peace and how he gets along with other people.
