Lost Boys of the Sudan

In 2001, the United States welcomed more than 3,000 of the "Lost Boys of the Sudan" for permanent resettlement. This group of young people fled Sudan on foot more than 11 years ago. Their journey led them to Ethiopia, back to Sudan, to Kakuma refugee camp in Kenya, and finally to the United States. Church World Service resettled more than 300 of these Sudanese young people at 10 sites around the country.
