<br />
We’ve seen people leaving Syria, going through France, thousands of them. We never thought we’d see thousands of people leaving Honduras at the same time. But, if you all go together, you don’t pay smugglers, and it’s safer.<br />
<br />
I lived in a really dangerous neighbourhood. Really dangerous. Lots of my friends were killed.<br />
<br />
The first three times I got up to Laredo.<br />
Then I went on the train, on top of the train, up to Mexicali.<br />
All in all, I went six times, I was deported five times.<br />
<br />
The last time, the people I was with got impatient, they tried to get across, they were deported. I got homesick, I decided to come back here, to eat beans.<br />
<br />
But, it’s hard here, economically. <br />
<br />
I was lucky to survive it, I saw someone killed in front of me, I was with this guy from Choluteca, we were tired, it was six in the morning, we hadn’t slept much, we were perched in between the train wagons, he slipped off and went straight under the wheels. God knows how many people have died on the journey, and plenty come back with limbs missing. Another time I saw someone reach out for a mango from an overhanging tree, the train will full, 60 people on each wagon, we were hungry, so he reached out, he slipped, he went between the wagons, landed on his teeth, he was dead straight away.<br />
<br />
One time I nearly died myself. I was travelling between Nayarit and Guadalajara. I was on the train and I touched a high-tension cable, it just brushed my face, burned me, two Mexicans stopped me from falling off, they grabbed my legs. I’ve never been closer to death. I have never got on a train again. <br />
<br />
Sometimes the Mexican throw stones at you while you’re on the train. <br />
<br />
I have done training with the LWF, I am making a living painting, painting houses and businesses, and doing signwriting and tattoos.<br />

  • A group of migrant workers sit on the sidings as a train passes. They are waiting for a train heading north. They are part of a group of 12 migrants who are all from the same neighbourhood in the same town in San Francisco Morazán, Honduras. Everyone in the group has worked in at least one trade, and they are hoping to find work in the US.

  • A honduran migrant jumps onto 'La Bestia' a train that is part of a freight network through Mexico. If he is successful the journey will take him more than a month and the most who take the journey experience one or more of the many dangers on the journey, such as being kidnapped and extorted, robbed and beaten, raped, being victims of accidents on the train network, extreme dehydration and even death in the desert, drowning in the rivers to cross into the US.

<br />
I was deported.<br />
<br />
I went because I couldn’t find any work, there’s nothing here. I’m single, I live at home, I have no children, but I have to help my parents. Even with a profession here, there’s no employment. Lots of people from round here decide to migrate, to find a better future. <br />
<br />
Maybe it’s not as bad here as in some other areas, not many people are hungry, no one dies of hunger here. But, there’s scarcity, there are families who don’t get to eat three times a day. In Honduras the violence is terrible, generally. Catacamas is tough, it’s dangerous. Our particular neighbourhood isn’t too bad though.<br />
<br />
My brother is in the US, he sent money for me to try to get there. He paid $3500, that’s gone.<br />
<br />
I got to Houston, through Juarez, by the bridge. I was there for three months, detained. It was difficult there. I was punished, they sent me from place to place, the food was terrible, you don’t even see sunlight, you don’t know what time of the day it is. The ice boxes are the worst, you freeze. I couldn’t bear it. I signed the papers to be deported. There are lots of stories of people who take their own lives. It’s a bad feeling, terrible feeling there. <br />
<br />
Among the staff in the detention centres, there are bad people, they enjoy making you suffer.<br />
<br />
I was lucky on the journey, it wasn’t much suffering, but in detention it was bad. Some of the women I was with suffered a lot more on the journey, some had broken arms and legs, one had her face all disfigured, another was all cut and grazed, accidents on the train or getting over the wall, or traffic accidents. <br />
<br />
Women travelling have extra risks. A lot of women are raped, or killed. <br />
<br />
I did a course with the LWF, three months training, cutting hair and beauty salon work. I’ve learned to be less shy. I’m working in a salon now, cutting hair. I like doing that. I think in the future, God willing, and with the support of the LWF, I’ll set up m

  • Migrants wait in line for food in a migrant refuge near the railway line in Apizaco, Mexico. The refuge is run by lay people and supported mainly by church groups. Migrants often arrive in exhausted, dehydrated, hungry and in need of medical attention. This point on the migrant journey from Honduras takes about a month to reach, including about two weeks walking in southern Mexico, then long and dangerous train rides on the rail network known as La Bestia. The refuge allows migrants to stay up to 48 hours.

  • Thousands of people are stuck at an informal camp of asylum seekers at El Chaparral, Tijuana, Mexico, many of them have been waiting for their petition for asylum to be heard for months. Most of the people at the camp are from Central America and Haiti, the majority from Honduras, but many are also fleeing violence in Guerrero and Michoacan in Mexico. For many the journey to get here was extremely hazardous, crossing Mexico on the top of La Bestia, the train also known as El Tren de la Muerte. Many have been kidnapped and extorted by organised crime groups, and the dangers in the unpoliced camp are also very high, particularly for girls and women.

  • I’m Reina Isabal Calix, I’m a survivor of the massacre of Santa Clara and Horcones. The massacre happened on the 25 June 1975. There was a plan by landowners and military, Coronel Chinchilla. They confused work for the common good with work for communism. We were working for the common good. They prepared to crush us. We were a group of religious people, priests, farmers, women. We were struggling for agrarian reform. All we really wanted was for people to have enough land to plant food for themselves, to have their daily bread, for their children and families. We were united, teachers, poor farmers, young people, students, workers, priests. It was a big struggle, but they wanted to crush it. <br />
<br />
There was a Colombian priest here called Ivan Betancourt. There was also an American priest called Casimiro Zypher. They were both killed too, along with the campesinos and students. <br />
<br />
At that time, speaking about the common good, was like promoting communism. There was a plan, to destroy everything we were doing and slow down the agrarian reform. <br />
<br />
We had a shop, radiofonica school, they killed the person who ran it. We used to train carpenters and mechanics here.<br />
<br />
We planned a march, 5000 people came. They couldn’t stop it. But, the soldiers came in here using students as a cover, it was a trick. Three people died right here, in the centre. <br />
<br />
Others were taken to the prison. Father Casimiro died being tortured during interrogation. Later they took them to a farm, and most were killed there, they threw the bodies down a well. Fourteen people were killed.

<br />
My father went with a smuggler to the US, but they had a fight.  My cousin was with them, he told us the story afterwards. They were in a cabin, but they left my dad outside. The smuggler tried to kill him by beating him, but he wouldn’t die, so he found a machete, cut his hand off, and killed him. Then he tied him to the back of a car and dragged his body around on the dirt road and dumped his body on the railway, so that they’d think he was killed by the train. His wife had to identify him, he was unrecognisable. They sent his body back. <br />
<br />
Despite that, I decided to try my own luck and migrate.<br />
<br />
My mother is in the US, I haven’t seen her for 12 years. <br />
<br />
I decided to go last year. <br />
<br />
A cartel stopped the lorry we were travelling in, they got us all out of the trailer. They told us all to get out all our money, or that they’d kill us. They put all the women separately.<br />
<br />
They killed the driver of the lorry, and his assistant. They asked the lorry driver how many people he was carrying, he said 40, they told him to count us, there were 125 of us. They cut four fingers off his hand, one by one, and then they put a knife into his throat. I didn’t want to see it, but they did it in front of us. Then they did the same to his assistant, they cut off four fingers and pushed a knife into his throat. <br />
<br />
They left us there on the side of the road. We were picked up by Mexican migration and seven days later we were back in Honduras. Everyone I went with went straight back, but I decided to stay. They’ve all got through to the US.<br />
<br />
We got a bus fare to get back to Olancho, we got back with nothing.<br />
Someone told me about the LWF programme and I decided to learn welding, I have those skills now, for life, no one can take that from me. And I’m working in buildings, making furniture, and I have my own equipment.<br />

And, with the chickens, well, that is good for our own consumption, and to sell, we’ve made money from it”.

  • World Renew supports a programme in southern Malawi for peer mentoring of girls and young women. The programme looks at sexual health and women's rights, and deals with particularly vulnerable sector of youth in the region. <br />
<br />
Training on entrepreneurship is also given. Having done a short course, these girls run a small donut business in their village, producing homemade donuts early in the morning and selling to schoolchildren. They make a small profit, enough to cover some of their own education costs and keep themselves in education.

I try to get back to the Mosquitia from time to time, to make sure that my children don’t lose a sense of their indigenous roots.

The big one for us is garden farming, agriculture, but we’ve done training in other things too. We are grateful for these opportunities. We’re ladies, but here we are working hard, producing, teaching, setting a good example. And, when people in the community are needy, we are glad to help out. That’s our aim, to go further, to help people when they are in need.

  • Aboubacar Sylla, aged 79, lost 4 members of his family in the Ebola outbreak of 2014-15. <br />
<br />
His daughter M’Mah was one of the lucky ones. As soon as she started showing symptoms of the deadly disease, her father made sure that she was taken straight to hospital where early treatment helped save her life. <br />
<br />
Surrounded by multiple generations of his large family at their home in the district of Dixinn Port, Conakry, Sylla tells how the family was shunned by their own community when Ebola struck his family.<br />
<br />
“Before the Ebola outbreak, everyone talked to one another here. Then suddenly we weren’t even allowed to leave our house,” he said.<br />
<br />
People stopped using the well in the open area in front of their home for fear of contamination and the children were forbidden to step out past the boundary of their front courtyard where they were used to playing.<br />
<br />
M’Mah was not living in the family house when she got sick, but her brother Aboubacar was the one who went to her house where she was living with her husband and took her to the Ebola treatment centre in Nongo. <br />
<br />
“Everyone was so scared of Ebola but I couldn’t just abandon my sister. She would have died,” he said, telling how his decision to ride in the ambulance with her caused division within the family.<br />
Since then, even though he never got sick, Aboubacar has suffered stigma from his contact with Ebola and has found it difficult to get work anymore. <br />
<br />
As soon as M’Mah arrived at the Ebola treatment centre, the disease surveillance system alerted the vaccine trial team of this new case. The team sent two local social mobilizers, trained specifically by WHO for this delicate role, to visit the family and to ask if they would agree to participate in a research trial to help develop a vaccine against Ebola. <br />
The Guinea vaccine trial, led by WHO, used a method called ring vaccination. This method, used to eradicate smallpox, aims to vaccinate a “ring” of all the people who had close contact with the pe

  • Missing people posters are found across Tijuana, as thousands of migrants disappear each year. Some die on their journey across Mexico, drowned in rivers, or of dehydration in deserts, or in the many accidents on freight trains but many are killed by organised crime groups when they are kidnapped and ransom money isn't paid. Sex-related murder of women, known as femicides, is also common.
