About the solution
Lual Mayen, a former refugee from South Sudan, built the video game Salaam that puts the player in the shoes of a refugee forced to flee a war-torn region.
The aim of the video game is to drive a generational shift in mindset inspiring a sustainable peace. Moreover, when purchasing food, water, and medicine in the game, the proceeds will be sent to help people living in refugee camps.
The game starts with a caravan of refugees walking through the jungle on their way to safety. Suddenly, gunshots are fired in the distance and the caravan begins to run. Panic ensues and your character makes way to the front of the group. A military vehicle appears ahead and soldiers fire in your direction. Now alone, your character turns down the nearest path. Thus, the game begins.
Lual taught himself how to code and how to create video games thanks to online resources after his mum managed to buy him a laptop. Thanks to a friend, Lual realised the power of video games and how they can influence people. Therefore, he wanted to create a game for peace and conflict resolution. He founded his own video game company in 2016, Junub Games.
