Help get young Sudanese refugees off the streets in Morocco

* UPDATE * - 4th MAY, 2025

After less than three weeks, we have reached and EXCEEDED our original target!!! Which means, we have guaranteed rent for Jungo House for at least the next 12 months, which is something HUGE!

Thanks to everyone for your support - it means so much.

But we don't stop here - I have just increased the target from €1,800 to €3,200 ... and I am currently working on concrete ways that this additional money raised will be used to reach and help MORE Sudanese refugees in need in Morocco.

Much love, David Fedele. x

Hi, my name is David Fedele.

I am an independent documentary filmmaker, originally from Australia, now spending most of my time making films exploring issues related to refugees, asylum seekers and migration between the African and European continents.

My latest film is called THIS JUNGO LIFE - an independent feature-length documentary made in collaboration with a group of young refugees and asylum seekers from Sudan and South Sudan, living and sleeping rough in the streets of Morocco; forced to flee violence and instability in Libya, and unable to return home due to ongoing war and conflict.

You can watch the film's trailer HERE.

JUNGO HOUSE

As part of this project, I have stayed in very close contact with many of the young refugees from the film who are still in Morocco, plus new arrivals who have fled the current catastrophic war in Sudan.

For the past 9 months, I have been renting a small house in Morocco, which has enabled many of the refugees to get off the street, and sleep with a roof over their head. This is essential in providing safety and security, as life on the streets in Morocco can be extremely risky and dangerous.

We call this house: "JUNGO HOUSE", and it has been a very successful project so far.

The house is also being utilised as a "social/community house" - for other refugees to to bathe, rest, sleep, cook, eat, charge telephones, etc.

Private support and projects such as this have never been more important, due to the current USA Government stopping funding to the UNHCR (United Nations Refugee Agency), who are charged with the responsibility of assisting and supporting refugees.

A number of people have privately supported this project so far - And I am now wanting to share details of this project publicly, and invite people to assist/contribute financially - so that we can continue paying the rent for the next 12 months, to provide safety, security and shelter for these young people who would otherwise be forced to live on the streets.

The monthly rental amount is approximately €150 / $270AUD (including all international transfer fees), which amounts to €1,800 / $3,250AUD for the year's rent.

100% of all money will go directly to the payment of rent (minus international transfer fees), and any additional money will be used to provide additional assistance to these refugees in a number of different ways.

Very often in my work, and especially following screenings of my films - people ask: "How can I/we help?"

Well - now there is a very concrete and tangible way to make a difference.

Any amount would be hugely appreciated, no matter how large or small.

And feel free to share this campaign with friends, family and colleagues, to help us reach our goal.

I thank you deeply for your support, on behalf of myself and my Jungo friends. x
