📋 5 things you now know

01Most people who promise to take you to Europe safely are smugglers who take your money and put your life at risk. 90% of irregular migrants had to pay traffickers. (Frontex)

02Only 25% of people who try to cross the Mediterranean irregularly make it to Europe. 75% are detained, returned, or worse. (IOM 2024)

03Social media posts from "Europe" are almost always fake or misleading. People show the good parts and hide the suffering, debt, and detention.

04Real opportunities exist in Kenya right now — Ajira Digital, Toyota Kenya Foundation scholarships, USIU-Mastercard scholarships, YEDF loans, and more.

051 in 3 young people who migrate irregularly come back within 2 years — with debt, no diploma, and trauma. The opportunity was always here. (ICMPD 2024)
