170,000 Somalis live in the Dabaab refugee camp in North East Kenya. Life in the camp is tough but one new – and surprising –initiative is starting to make quite an impact: Volleyball. It keeps the teenagers healthy and occupied amid the monotony. But the camp is conservative and there's strong opposition to girls playing sport ... from teenage boys.
