“It’s not easy to get the message out that it’s possible to be successful here: you are fighting against a tide of what young people have seen on social media. In Kayar, just along the beach, we have some new houses being built by those who have sent money home, so people see this and think they can also go to Spain and earn money for a house.
“And if they are not being properly taught at school; if they are not being trained in anything else but fishing; of course they feel obliged to take the risk. Now they don’t tell their parents, they just go. We would all prefer our children to stay here.”

For many the perilous journey to Spain seems the only future. Can the country’s new government create enough jobs and prospects to make them stay?

“The shut down of USAID has shut down the HIV/AIDS programs in our region and all throughout the African continent. We had an HIV/AIDS mother give birth at our birth center yesterday the third mother since January and we have two more HIV/AIDS mothers due this month. We have been scrambling like crazy to find life saving meds that prevent transmission from mothers to babies. Babies stay on the meds for an entire year and the mothers and their partners the meds are on going. Yesterday fortunately our committed midwives were able to find enough meds for 6 months for the baby and the mother was previously given some meds just before the shut down of USAID when the program was still open. This is absolute cruelty many people really do not realize the true importance of the work of USAID. Thousands of life saving programs gone just like that and many of these programs keep disease from spreading into the U.S. I am completely gutted….HIV/AIDS cases will surely sky rocket after decades of work on the fight against HIV/AIDS.”
