Most Dangerous Ways To School | ETHIOPIA | Free Documentary

- Опубликовано: 19 сен 2015
- When the schoolchildren wake up to the first rays of sunshine, the temperature is already over 30 degrees Celsius. They live in the Danakil desert in northeast Ethiopia, near an active volcano, in a region that is the world’s hottest on average. Amongst these children are 6-year-old Looita and his sister Khadiga.
Their route to school, which is many kilometres long, takes these children of the Afar tribe over jagged earth, over seemingly endless lengths, and every day they are confronted with much more than just the astounding heat. Not one shadow offers coolness; water is a rare and expensive commodity. Even if a breath of wind blows through the desert it most often quickly evolves into a sandstorm, the grains of which temporarily blind the children and whip at their skin. The very young schoolchildren deal with this until they finally reach their destination: school. But it isn’t over yet. There is still plenty of danger to come.
After school they have to head home in unbelievable temperatures, beyond 50 degrees Celsius. Even the youngest schoolchildren have to help dig wells, while the older children - like 14 year Mohammed - work in the salt mines, to aid their family’s survival. The children as well as the adults do not give up hope that school will help them one day - not just to survive, but also to live well off the barren and inhospitable desert.

My grandfather used to work those same salt mines many years ago, he sent my mom to school even though it was financially devastating for him. She ended up getting a scholarship /sponsorship to a boarding school, graduated top in ethiopia for highschool, went to uni, got her masters, went to America, got her PhD, while in college she helped raise many of her siblings and helped pay for their education. Many have gone to college and have good careers. My grandfather also refused to get his daughters circumcised back in the early 1950s. He was way ahead of his times. I am so greatful for my grandparents for their foresight and their sacrifice as I am greatful to my God and savior for making a way for my family. All of my siblings have finished college and are successful in their careers. I wish the same for these children and their future generations
@yaee123........Wonderful testimony. God be praised. Happy that u know Jesus😉
So good your grandad was far sighted to not allow FGM what a wonderful thing
These stories should be shown in every classroom in America, especially on the first day of school.
They wont pay acteion or care cuz american kids 👐👐👐🚮🚮🚮🚮🚮🙅 they will just make funny of it
Noppee
@@vickie9326 OOf I'm an American kid
You read my mind I said the same on one of the documentary they mushy show these to children in England so that they can be motivated and stay away of hooliganism
My family runs a school for kids in India, I plan to show these to them because some come from poor background from the city but would not want to study, bunk classes etc.
"When I grow up Iwant to move away to somewhere with tap water" hit hard. It brought tears to my eyes. We need to become aware of our blessings
I grew up and went to school at the south eastern Ethiopia. and i have to walk for almost 90 minute, but thankfully the weather is not much hot but i understand well the barefoot situation. after my parents died i have to leave school at grade 7. after i moved to other region and started again but it`s from grade 5, i have to work at agriculture before or after school and walk for 1 hour to school. i have to work so i can get food and shelter to continue my studies. even so i wasnt fortunate to finish my school even if i was having average 97 percent per subject.. Alhamdulilah am still walking tall and i say to my self nothing can take me down unless i let go my self.
Thank you for sharing that. We walk beside you. And you sound like a truly awesome strong person. Respect and love you to! You did it all yourself.
@@FreeDocumentary thank you and i appreciate your hard work
As fallow Ethiopian, I like your story and message brother. I wish you well for future.
Good for you brother! May God bless you and keep you always in His hands
@@rebekahlikesmusic2723 Ameen thanks a lot
Walking for more than 2 hrs. No water, no enough food. God bless this children.
I am Areehd and temperature 50 digress
They walk 2 hours to school and I wouldn't even walk to the shops 10 mins down the street, They definitely are blessed I'm just spoilt.
yeah he should bless them with some fucking water or a car. wonder why he's just watching hmm
@@khanmonir6595 you are the kid?
@@hannajean8204 hahahahahah omg you said it all in one piece
i commend the little girl's father for sending her to school when most of the families from the region only send their sons..
@@deirdrepasko9056 why do you only speak of the girls circumcision when the 6 year old boy was brutalised as well? the barbaric practice of circumcision to all should stop. It is a shame that it has infested the minds of first world countries
Should buy her a pair of slippers too
@@azaj9848 circumcision prevents penile cancer but it should be done by a surgeon
Yes ! He should be acknowledged for that. Great Job Dad!
@@azaj9848 You did actually hear that ONE in THREE of the girls who are circumcised die right.
For the boys it is brutal and dangerous,but at least most of them survive it...
I'm also from Ethiopia especially Somali region from 2009 to 2014 I used to learn school like that may be I'm the only one who feels that 😢😢 right now I successfully graduated from high school and won scholarship in Turkey. I wish everyone will win if he/she is really ready to do and I'm saying never give up 😊
You are a great man.. Greetings to you from Algeria 😍👑
You are real hero wendeme proud of you from Ethiopia 🇪🇹 ❤❤

"Marry someone with Tap Water." Never ever thought this could be an expectation. Just broke my heart :(
no she said I want to get married and live somewhere with tap water
@@rodaslela1924 yhaa right
Such evil to bring children to such conditions :(
Provocateur SK yep we watch these and comments praise the parents, how about not having the kids in the first place, ? I would praise them for that, stuck in a land that has nothing and can't let people thrive
sadly bitter reality is this
I think this documentary should be shown in every school in the western world. Maybe kids will appreciate how important school is and how fortunate they really are.
I agree. Western countries have it so good, yet the drop out rates are high,the school ratings are low. Look at these children and that determination they have to better themselves. This should be shown to the current us president and the Republican who think all of us Immigrants are lazy and just want free everything.
@@aaf1568 What about the filthy rich middle eastern countries. Ah that's right, just say that all westerners are spoilt rotten rich pricks. Let me tell you both something, you do realise that a lot of westerners are also dirt poor and struggle like this also on a daily basis. Maybe not in such "Hot" conditions but they struggle. At least these kids are getting food, water and education. Some poverty stricken westerners don't even have a roof over their heads. Cuts both ways, don't be so blind to the truth.
@@mrsslocombespussy820 none is suggesting that there ar no poor westerners. There plenty but they still have access to education. Look at c these ppl and what these children they will go through. The very poor children in western countries just give up . Not all very few Just give up. There was a young man in America who walked each morning to his school and graduated. He woke up at 3 to walk to school. Its possible but western children Just are not modified as these children are.
Yes I think that’s a fantastic idea. I might actually suggest that to my children’s schools.
RC's Project I made my 4 year old daughter and husband watch it for movie night after we all complained how her new school building is a 25 minute drive. After we watched it the complaining stopped.
Im from Ethiopia and never knew I was living the modern life..Once I get older I will go back home and help my blood a siblings
That good
That would be a good idea. The modern life is unhealthy. A balance of both worlds creates a more balanced perspective. They need your help or to make life not so hard. I wish you the best. And I hope you do, do this.
The commercials that interrupt this documentary are in such a high contrast to the content. -one moment a child is suffering in the heat, the next moment a sizzling hot dog for your luxury lifestyle...
Me too. These politicians steal all the money meant for them to their pocket. that money was meant to build school for people like Afar.
Xoxo Sebrina yea sure , rubbish
May the dreams of these students fly high
In shaa Allah,Ameeeen
Irrespective of so much struggle for school but at the end they are the reader of asmani kitab
Walking over two hours to school and another two hours back in over 100 degrees temperatures with the sandy soil buring holes on their feet is extremely humbling. And all through their daily ordeal, they can spare a smile. It's truly inspiring ! I can no longer complain of any hardship I encounter which is nothing compared to what these kids go through everyday.
Jesus is the only way to healing, restoration and salvation to all souls. Please turn to him and he will change your life, depression into delight, soul heading from hell to heaven all because of what he did on the cross

and barely eat anything
Those who watch this video r lucky enough to have internet and better life style..just cherish yourself with what
U have..these videos r inspiring.
You as well. Lol
You are right. I have thought about what U said, even though I am Ethiopian, but this documentary on Kenyan Masai students touched me more than any other of this type of documentaries. But after all African leaders are all the same!
it would be more inspiring if you actually used "You" and "Are" you know?
@@simbororo7790 what are you even saying Kenya and Ethiopia no difference
Breaks my heart. The child walking barefoot in 70 degree heat and doing all the hardwork. Sad for all suffering
I noticed the girl Kadiga need shoes
Niran Vas you’re right breaks my heart too,and special for that circumcise the little boy.
Probably they don’t know we don’t have to that anymore because Jesus died for all our sins.
@@user-yv9cs6bs4u what are you talking about? Most Christian males are circumcised.
Not 70! 35 = 95 degree......, 40 = 104 degree.
Deirdre Pasko I’m Christian so is my husband and my sons. No one in our family and our relations are circumcised I know Jewish faith it’s important never heard of Christians doing it....
One of the most neglected regions in Ethiopia but the still raise our flag patriotically, I'm so proud
It's good to see an open minded father sending his daughter to school.Those kids are very strong walking 2 hours under extreme heat
Same. I think far too many people instantly assume that all Muslim families oppress women. But every religion is capable of being horrible (white people used Christianity to excuse colonialism) but also good.
This documentary should've been called "The World's most courageous kids!" lol.
les antoine she said lol bc it was a joke
les antoine she/he did a joke but meant it as serious
Yeah, I see the "joke" in it... However, should've put "lbvs"(laughing but very serious), instead of "lol"
Jennifer Hutson what if he/she did not even know that existed?
Simple Believer Very apt
Binge watching these today has made me feel so terrible for the days I complained about riding the school bus or waiting for a ride. I definitely want to help! I think actually going to these countries and physically being there to help would be something I would want to do, a sort of missionary trip. God Bless these children, their families, and everyone who watches these 💗
NaKai Jelani you are a good person 💓god bless you !
Thanks Dear 🥰🥰
That's a beautiful name you have in my language Diné bizaad it means Spanish/Latin or Person from Mexico depending on context.
Just go do it on your own or through a group. The missionary is actually what was used to start slavery in Africa. Those missionaries were the agents and brokers of slave trade. Please stay away from it.
I am also thinking about-the day when the world is open once again to learn some of there survival skills in exchange for something useful to them. That is more worthwhile and meaningful than shopping for the latest..nothingness.
I have just discovered these series and my heart sinks watching the adversities that this little children across the globe go through to get a descent education while there many children who run out of school when conditions are all good. I was born and raised in Uganda, Africa. In my country, it is common to find poverty stricken areas with poor roads but at least the risk of danger or death on way to school is limited. Perhaps, I have not moved broadly to prove this... These series have taught me to be grateful ad appreciative about every thing in life, they have opened my eyes to see life with different lenses. I am in an exchange program in a European country and I feel I should share this with the students.
Thank you for sharing. A lot of people take basic services, like going to school, as a guaranteed right.
Good
This is true for most city’s of Africans countries, but the western mainstream media never wanted to share the positive part our continent. I just wanted to let the viewers know that there are a lot of students going to school like western children with a school bus, private taxis and also picked up and dropped off at school every single day.

Watching these documentaries will humble you and teaches you to open your eyes on the true reality of how other people live around the world. This needs to be shown in classroom around the world.
Agree.
I believe in giving them bicycle will be the best solution
Through that sand riding a bycicle is imposible
how can you complain about life after watching this?
DON'T GIVE UP FOR LIFE.
@Jacob Gonzalez did those children complain? they live in the hottest region on earth btw
Ana Myers they are smart because they will thrive and dominate
implying doing shitty everyday job in crowded city is better. This people have more freedom and live more natural life.
Ana Myers africans have the most kids. Rich white people do not
Is beyond me how much respect these kids have and the level of commitment inspires me. God bless them
María Emilia Negrón with your beautiful commitment...I believe god has blessed you also
@MaríaEmiliaNegrón... Isn't it amazing how much these kids want to help their families, even after such a hard day themselves? We thought about that too. Most kids are so distracted by TV & devices that helping their parents is that last thing they want to do... These Ethiopian kids don't know what that's like.. They just want to be happy with their families!
@@BEAdventurePartners yes
I agree. God bless all of them
My parents taught me respect, respect your elders, values all of that. But these children have that on a whole different level. And not to demise them they don't got nothin. But what maybe we have in wealth 💰 we lack that happiness family the little things. We take a lot of ish for granted. When I go to church Sunday imma light some candles and pray for them especially!
I’m in north Texas after a winter storm, no water and no power for 4 days. I have 0 room to complain about. I’m VERY fortunate. I wish these children and their families well❤️
This is my true story from seven years ago, spanning from 2008 to 2014. Today, I am a university student, and I vividly recall that in order to access water from our home, we had to walk a distance of up to 50 kilometers. Our location was equally distant, situated within one of the Ethiopian Rift Valley regions.
Khadihga looks a lot like my little one. Complexion and all, she is 7. She's my pride and joy ❤. God bless these children.
Well Ethiopia is beautiful country and the man kind of birth play, the promise to God but western media ??????????
I’m so happy her father is open minded and wants all of his children to read and write. I’m sad for the girls that can’t go to school. The children work hard. This is a hard life for anyone.
Loved the way how hamid smiled at camera at the end. Love you hamid,khadiga,loita,mohammed and all other brave students like you.
I watched the documentaries in Nepal, Bolivia and Nicaragua and this from Ethiopia. One thing is common, children suffers the most because of poverty. It is very sad that at the other side of the world, there are those living a very luxurious lives. May God help lift the lives of these children featured in these documentaries and other children suffering from poverty.
It's amazing to see the struggle of others things we take for granted💯
That sounds so wrong, reread it
@@okaymea Agree ! What is so amazing about seeing people struggle . It is more like the other way around.... It's amazing how we take so much for granted when these people have to struggle!
Nothing is amazing about seeing people struggle , amazing and struggle should not be put into one sentance, I would say i am heart broken and feel so sad for there life of pure struggle to learn to read and write ,This should not be like this . ;(
Yes.. you are right
O my gosh @Kiwii... When that little girl said "I imagine one day having tap water..." my heart sank. - Erin
@@simplefamilylifeohara5318 I think what she meant is their ability to tolerate such harsh enviromental conditions. Imagine living in Death valley without modern amenities. The Danakil Desert is like Death Valley and the only people who live there are these group of people known as Afar. I can't imagine an Ethiopian from any other city or village living there without quickly succumbing to the elements. These people have lived this nomadic and traditional lifestyle in that same environment for centuries so they've learned to tolerate what most people, even within Africa, would not. So, for that reason i would say they are amazing. Having said that, these kids deserve an easier life.
Ethiopia has some beautiful people❤😍 beautiful brown skin🌹 and hair😆
All of horn of African people are beautiful 💖 but I am the ugliest one 😂
@@NoName-pf4zg lol u said all African people are beautiful,so how can u be ugly?or be the ugliest one?
*@Shanta-kaye Pratt* They look like walking skelettons though..... which still is somewhat better than many of the spoiled and obese kids in the "developed" world.....
@@NoName-pf4zg true
@@shanta-kayepratt983 that's not what he fucking said....
That was a very beautiful bby in the beginning!!! Omg they all are beautiful! Their hair, eyes and that skin!!!! God bless these children and I hope all their dreams come true!!🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I really learn a lot from this video. THANK YOU SO MUCH to the Father of Khadiga who motivated her to go to school. Your open-mindedness is truly worth emulating. I truly appreciate it. I hope the government of Ethiopia and the international communities will work hand in hand to help the family of Hamed, Mohammed, Khadiga, and all those living in the Danakil Desert. All the children there, boys and girls deserve a better education as their best weapon to alleviate or even eliminate poverty and free themselves from the quagmire of ignorance. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VERY INFORMATIVE DOCUMENTARY FILM. Keep up the good work.👍👍👍 TO GOD BE THE GLORY.🔥🔥🔥
And here i am, complaining that my kids refuse to eat breakfast in the morning, while bus pick them in front of the door, for only 10min drive, they will go to school with bag full of food and drinks, but still i complain that life is difficult!!! Lord Jesus, forgive me. Please Lord, help these brave kids.
They seriously need Jesus.
We should be grateful to God.
LET'S PLEASE PLEASE AND PLEASE TAKE TIME TO THANK GOD FOR EVERYTHING HE HAS DONE FOR US AND STILL CONTUNIES TO BLESS US!!! THANK YOU GOD SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO FOR US.
Your kids have clearly not suffered, i hope they nowadays don't take anything for granted.
I showed this video to my 6 year son that complains in the morning when he wakes up and when the bus arrives late , he got tears I hope he learns to appreciate the live and privileges He has.
I do the same thing to my kids. They should and must appreciate what they are given not complain about stupid things.
@@michellea5415 Yes Ma'am 😩
Afar, oromo, somalis, amhara and tigray can very well relate to this...others can only imagine......am proud of this land and its people
Even if I am from Ethiopia...This is so strange to me....I never knew it might be this hard over there in Afar..it puts tears to my eyes..in my school years , I travelled almost for 2 hours almost every day to fetch clean water for my family our donkeys did the carrying part. How ever now is diffrent history our small town people all have tap water. As far as the school we had elementary and high schools in town now the town growing so fast . Most importantly we have better human capital pilots , Doctors , Engineers , Athletes , thanks to lord Almighty with barley gov't help. I am from south Ethiopia even thou we have scarcity of arable land we have favorable climate and land on top the people are delighted to work hrad in other word hard workers. To my opinion the problem to all of this...I know the country's economy is weak but the every gov't come and go they don't have hearts to prioritize places like Afar , Omo valley , where people walking with out clothes on like primitive society on 21st century not due to the weather but b/c of illiteracy. Three larger tribes in Ethiopia ruling the country everytime one in power they worry only about themselves then places like these needed most priorities suffer / starves to death. Thanks white people to bringing this to world stage you are blessed for reason. Our black falks we will stay to suffer if we don't change the way we do things. Stand for truth rather with your tribes or lies. I am not saying all white falks are an angels but they one like the poster of this content and so many other good people.
Imagine how strong this beautiful people are. They can manage what we can not.
If you find your self in that situation, you can also find yourself managing
not at all. it is just to cope with it that we would learn.
Just imagine how much they will appreciate, if they had school near by.
The little girl walks across the desert with no shoes. This is really an eye opener. In America, I took my education for granted. I think this series should be shown during home room classes from elementary through high school to remind our youth the privilege they have because in this country it’s so easy to overlook or forget.

Beautiful and strong people. Their smile is priceless. Love you my Afar people.
Khadigha ure a precious shrine and the epiphany of strength & role model for children worldwide, God Bless you queen 🙌🏽
Can you imagine how much the owner of that salt mine makes to pay them $50/day when the average salary is $30/MONTH!!? This series of docs on these most dangerous ways to school is absolutely mind blowing. From this desert to the Oymyakon in Siberia to the Himalayas the dangers these kids face just to obtain simple reading and writing skills breaks my heart. I wish there was a way to guarantee that things we could send them to help would actually reach them. I know others in the comments would do the same but charities supposedly working for the people of Ethiopia are rife with corruption sadly
Why do you think they are corrupt and who do you think that mead our Government corrupted and other African Leader corrupt by???
Charities are bribery and a way for powerful/wealthy countries to select poor and resource filled countries leaders.
Yes, thanks to this owner these workers have much more money than the average Ethiopian could ever imagine
@@Lemlem7682 reality
Oh yes I've thought the same exact thing, like I'd sponsor a family if I'd knew it would all go to straight them , my heart breaks for thses babies 😟💔💔
Watching these videos really make me realize how blessed I am. And the basic things I have are considered “ luxury “ for these poor kids. We can walk to a bus stop and ride a bus to school while these kids have to go through that! These kids are truly brave and courageous:)
Going to school is important to them, while many of us miss school wishfully
I have absolutely no right to complain about my life!
You don't...I have joined your club. I am on my way to being a better human being. About time.
I feel the same way and so does my grandchildren.
I have them watch a of the video every other day..
But do they look unhappy? I bet I can find more miserable and less loved children in the most modern countries.
You are smart
My exact words !!!!!
Afar people are so similar to my people Somalis,this is the typically life style of Somali nomadic people, we are strong resilient living in harsh environment 😍😍
Yeah🇸🇴💪
Yeah I notice that they even look alike
They both belong to Afro kush !!
I believe you're from the Coast of SouthSomalia ,this is the way of life of every Somali nomad and am proud of it,our land is not different from theirs "desert land",and children have to walk miles to school. Am from Togdhere region this is way of life in rural Togdhere, so is rural Sool, rural Djibouti all the way to Dirie Dawa. Nothing shameful
@@dalxiischannelvlogs14 very similar in culture too you need to visit Djibouti to see how similar we are, Afar and Dir clan are close,some sub clan of isse (Somali)who reside in Djibouti and Ethiopia trace their lineage to Afar. Zeila port in west of Somaliland (Awdal)was originally Afar land so was the Adal empire the sultan was Cafar 🤗
I've got a 13 year old young brother, much older than Ahmad but I can't imagine him walking such routes. Watching this, my heart sinks and makes me realise how fortunate all of us not in these shoes are.
It also show the power , greatness, and undeniable will of the HUMAN SPIRIT
My heart goes out for these beautiful kids...Wishing then every success and happiness in life...lokl
Omg. As an parent. I be worried sick. Hoping my daughter gets to school safely. With her friends. So blessed we don't have to do this. These kids are brave an sacrifice. A lot to get education.
Whose going to show this documentary to their child/children?🤚🏿
Im watching with children now to let them know they are blessed and to encourage them to study harder.
Kristine Athena Lemana Great!!
Why?
@@mividamirancho2621 Probably they want to show off to their kids. How much they can offer compared with those poor and uneducated people. Make themself feel better for everything they do for their kids.
Iulia Ceclan they should also show them how crackheads and meth heads get high so that they feel good of how lucky they are then.
God bless all of these beautiful children. May they find success in their lives. 💚💚💚
Ahamed's sweet organic smile sums up our african happiness.
The commercials that interrupt this documentary are in such a high contrast to the content. -one moment a child is suffering in the heat, the next moment a sizzling hot dog for your luxury lifestyle...
That's why I have ad blockers
Man!! I also felt the mediocre pstew
Get Adguard
I was hoping to comment on that but you beat me to it. This is really sad
I noticed that also.
Such harsh condition's for these children braving such extreme climate of the sun beating mercilessly. Wishing these brave children the best in their studies.
When you live there it's just another day.
For someone like myself, who was born and raised in Africa, I am extremely thankful to live in the United States. These children are experiencing the same reality that I did as a child. This documentary reminds me of God's greatness and goodness. God is good all the time.
What a bless day no matter how dangerous the road is i am gonna make it to school today,you wanna know why?cuz GOD IS LEADING MY WAY.
so god is ur mom? lmao, it's just school
datius jayson
AMEN
I PRAY FOR YOUR SAFETY
datius jayson
As well as these babies thirsting for more!
I did that and I was in similar situation but I am here and all the glory goes to my Savior LORD JESUS and God is able!
You gotta love how in a lot of these countries women are considered inferior and not as intelligent, but low and behold it's always a woman who is teaching the boys the subjects they need to continue to be "more important and worth more in society"
I notice..these women have no future...she's going to school..for what? To marry a 80yr old pervert and become a servant.....nice...
Muslim.
@@tohmaseguchi8505 its fucking disgusting and pathetic that when women are raped it's more safe to stay silent because now she's "tainted" and worth nothing, as well as everybody assuming she brought it upon herself like she was asking for it.. then you have men kidnapping their wife who is anywhere from 20 to 60 years younger. Everyone deserves equal rights, but damn if some of these crazy ass SJW snowflake feminists could spend one hour in the shoes of their counterparts from the middle east. (Some feminist are legit, I mean the batshit over the top exaggerated lying ones)
Jay Lew so sad
@@mrsslocombespussy820 No true at all. I am Muslim and we are five sisters; doctors, bankers, the whole works....live in a Muslim country, in our 30's...successful, unmarried and living our life as equals in our household with the men...what the hell are you on about????
While they have an incredibly hard life already as children (having the responsibility of an adult in many cases as it is shown),
I have found their positive attitude, perseverance and motivation very inspiring!!!!
I hope their hard work will pay off and the education they get at their school will enable them to lead a better life eventually.
Wow this is really sad, it really teaches us the importance of being grateful for what you have, a bus to school or an Uber- these are the things we look down on cause we want to use cool cars and other materialistic things. We should learn to appreciate the little we have cause others have nothing at all.
Really touching, I've watched and literally felt the pain, sun heat, thirst, hunger, but still kids push on
But with all this most important is humbleness of the people who stand with each in all situation is, just amazing!
¹
My heart is melting while watching this. If only i could help
But only prayer o lord pls help them.
Yes u can help. U can oppen for them a water pump if u budget $1000
You don't want to help. Praying is not helping. The next time you're thirsty or hungry, pray for food and water without getting off your ass to get it yourself. Let's see just how fast this god of yours quenches your hunger and thirst. People like you and your "1 like = 1 prayer" kind have never accomplished anything. It's a cheap and lazy joke.
I wish i could go help them. This kills me to reach beside Myself so many times to drink a drink and not even realize it...wow...i want to go help them
I have clothes toys...blankets....etc i could donate to the children...i want to see it.....to know it really went to them. Its so much for ppl that have so little..
@@forgottenquill7063 Word.
This documentary reminds me of the hardships and difficulties of life wayback in my country. Looking at the kids struggling to reach school is a lot inspiring despite how hard life is, they still manage to pursue getting learned at least. I admire these kids and hope that their determination leads them to reaching the star!
After all these shocking videos of what kids go through across the world, this one has torn my heart the most.
I am single and can't reproduce so adopting is my first option to have kids.
After seeing this episode I hope I have the strength and courage to adopt a baby from here because no kids should endure all of this. This is the first episode to truly move me to tears
In my country Ethiopia Unless their family die no one give their children for adoption,my mom raise six of her children by working difficult work even she doesn't allow her relative to adopt her children
The kids walk more than 9 miles in up to 105 ⁰. I'd be dead before the first ½ mile.
The education we take for granted here in the States!
Stesha Rhodes exactly!students complaining for a couple steps from house to bus station!
This should answer your questions as to why African immigrants who come to the States never go back to Africa. Life in Africa is cheaper than e meal and it's the worst continent to be a kid.
I absolutely love thses episodes, I wish they'd make more I binged watched all of them already
Right me too !!!
That end smile is just a heart .....
Those eyes speakes everything without speaking a word....
In the north America and some countries of the Caribbean we feel so entitled. It just breaks my heart. We are not thankful for what God has blessed us with.
Thank you for this video. These children are wonderfully brave souls. I live in Australia where a lot of children take education for granted. These video's should be shown in all schools through-out this country. I deeply appreciate Free Documentary for sharing the struggles of these children.
Aye, these need to be shown to American kids too! Unfortunately in my family there were too many young ladies that chose to piss away their opportunities for *free* (funded by taxpayers) education.... while these kids literally risk their lives and *want* to go to school .... when certain cultures begin to value education for girls & women... things will improve
This is kinda random but I met a kid in college who was from Ethiopia and he was the nicest guy. He was so excited to be in America, he hadn’t been here long and I’ll just never forget him.
I have been to Ethiopia and these are the most precious, giving people you can imagine! I sponsor 2 children there. There is a charity named Children’s Hopechest and it’s a wonderful charity and has very few employees so they can give the most funds available to the areas that they are in. At our care point in Holeta, Ethiopia there has been a water point made where the community can get clean, fresh water. I have witnessed firsthand the precious kids in Holeta drinking from the different spouts of the water point. It is a humbling experience to say the least. The charity makes it possible for children to attend school and they minister to the whole family also. ❤🇪🇹
Seeing Hamad drink that dirty water from the well made me feel so privileged..May God help the poor! This broke my heart!
That water is probably cleaner than lead laced American tap water. It's from the ground, the worst it could have is e-coli. Which it doesn't seem to survive in that harsh environment, the high salt and heat won't do it. But the people are eating cooking with it. They are standing and walking and living. Funny how other African people use the term 'privileged' to describe what we all have in one form or another. He probably has cleaner water than yours, just because it's mixed with sand doesn't mean it's toxic all the way. But it is always best to have clear water anyways. I hope somebody volunteers to dig a well for them like they did in the school ground.
Peekay Entertainment right I cringed. I literally go tot he bathroom in drinkable water while she’s surviving off that muddy water
Would be nice to help them get some water filter and more wells for water.
If only each child can carry a container of water, a piece of cardboard or leafy tree branch to protect themself from the heat.
37 degrees feels like your head can break anytime if you stay outside for so long. And here they are walking at 50degrees 😭.
@John Smith Black/Ethiopian people are strong.
They are strong, I feel sick already at + 27 degrees(im from north europe)
😭😭😭😭
And without any head gear except for the women. It is like an Eskimo walking barefoot. It is not strength, it is stupidity.
If u live at a place or born there ur body will adapt to it. Not fully but its capable. U can't compare them with normal city folks. They already have adapted to the heat and they have their ways and method to overcome it
25:30 wow, Hamed is such a wise young man with a kind heart. I hope he goes very far in life, he deserves it
This documentary should be shown to every school in the world
Free documentary, is there some ways these people can be supported? I don't think the purpose of these documentaries is for us to just be entertained and get emotional. There's something we can do to help. Please add that in your description. You guys are doing an amazing job.
God bless you and Thank you so much!
The place is afar region in Ethiopia..I will try to find out!
These guys are only uploading. The original company is German, Maximus Film.
Producer Christian Schene.
Very well said sir! I agree. There must be some way to help
There's a lot of money flowing into Africa , but there's so much corruption it never makes it where it's needed .
Such precious kids. Kids in the west are so darn spoil. and appreciate nothing. Very good documentary
I'm Ethiopian myself and I drive to school when I used to live there, but I can't imagine what these kids are going through There walking miles in hot wethar sleeping outside I am so greatful now I didn't realize how much I have thanks god!
Do u know Where is this place in danakil specifically
It breaks my heart watching this video how kids suffered terrible heat and exhausted and thirsty just to have education . How blessed are we here in the Philippines for having abundant water and a better way to school. God bless Ethiopia and God bless the kids.
Where is the government ,the private and public institutions for extreme poverty like this..thank You Heavenly Father for giving us a nice place ro live in..🙏🙏🙏🙏
they have no government they are under occupation for more than from Ethiopia..
Poverty is a choice, always!
@@mahadljama4578 they are Ethiopian
I think they sleeping. But to be honest im from ethiopia but i dont know about this
The government of Ethiopia only serve the Amhara,tigray and partially orommo.the rest are Ethiopian when they are needed by the state for manpower only
I love these videos! When my son gets older and starts going to school and he complains about it I think I will show him one of these videos so he will go to school and appreciate what he has in america.
And tell for your son how Ethiopian children's are stronger than anyone in this planets.
I'm the one who passed this unbelievable ways in my life.
@Katj Hill haha probably hell who knows my kid might actually like school? Every kid is different.
How can we donate ? Bags, shoes? Water? Necessities? Watching these documentaries made me cry. We are so fortunate and yet we still complain, not contented. Look at these kids, inspite of all the danger and their sacrifices just to be in school to learn, is a total wake up call for us. Let us know how to donate.
This kind of Documentary should be shown in every schools of the world so that it would motivate them to go to school daily.
Count your Blessings!
Amen
name them one by one. as a matter of fact, i have stopped complaining and am most blessed to be born in my part of the world, one of the most freest nations on planet earth
Amen, Sumi. I couldn't imagine my child having to go through this every single day for what is so readily available to children in many other countries, including mine. Makes me think of the other blessings in mine and my family's life. The next time I think about complaining about ANYthing, I'm just going to shut up.
The poor girl is walking bare foot.
sridhar R its really painful
Too bad 😢
😢
Covert to become a Christian and live a complete live with civilized people.
@@nilsanderson6303 there are plenty of Christians who live in similar conditions
Want to see all of them again, please follow up how they are doing and how’s life. Love from Thailand 🇹🇭
Heat from magma and heat from the sun, no water and a 2 hour walk. These kids are made of some strong stuff and I have nothing but admiration for them. I wish they all succeed in life and make it far, they have the determination to do so. What great kids, my heart! They put British teens to shame!!!
God is awesome he keeps, saves and protects. That's why we need to give him thanks and praise. In everything we do give God praise and remember Jesus Christ is Lord so let's surrender our lives to him before it's too late
This is so heartbreaking. "One can complain of not having shoes until they meet another who has no feet ."
Muhammad peace be upon him is last prophet of God who restored strict monotheism practiced by Abraham pbuh and Moses pbuh
If God, Allah or JC exist, they must be having fun watching this innocent children go through all these atrocities of nature and and mankind, While other preveleged ones thousands of KMs away shoot their classmates and teachers with AK47s.
Religion is full of lies. Wake up!
@@buraburee only fool with pride will say there is no God
@@adnandawahshah4605 Mohammed is a false prophet and paedophile sent by Allah Aka Satan to deceive millions of Muslims like you. Wake up before it’s too late
Speechless, tears eyed....these children are inspiration and a reminder on how easy life really is for me 😇

Enoconjo ...I love ethipia language I had some friends from ethiopia in adis ababa girls are beautiful there..allah bless us all
Best documentary channel ever. Keep up the work of showing the world the hardship realities some students and families face.
Be grateful for what you have. I pray that he excels in school and gets a really good job and a great life one day❤️❤️
i really appreciate of how im freely going to school,..
this is the true reality, that in some other part of the world, experience this terrifying journey just to reach the school...
Education is so precious...
Thank you for making this beautiful series . These kids are incredible x
I was born in Ethiopia 🇪🇹
When i finished a high school
I tried to get a work
And I become a teacher
My salary was 25 dollars per month
And far from my hometown
That's life everywhere
When was this ? Surely now its higher though cost of living is even higher
I am in the third world country but I tell you your salary compare to our teacher here is way to low for a degree holder. Your one month salary is just a 1day of work here of our teachers.
Allah save you Mohamed. Loves from Turkey

I born and raised in danakil desert of Eritrean side but I was luck school is 5 minutes from my home. The world hottest place , now I live in western Canada 🇨🇦
what are the towns where these children are from and the name of the school. cant seem to search on google maps
And do you know how the school may be contacted for assistance
If you are living in Canada then think big and do something for future to help your people back home please!
@@kc7136 you just have to search for the region 'afar region' in ethiopia then look for 'afdera'. The google map in this region doesnt have detailed info.
You were one of the lucky ones. And I am happy for you.
I find these type of documentary so interesting and these children are amazing so inspirational beautiful people. Wish there was somewhere we could send clothes and shoes to them
I’m so happy that I have a bike for my way to school, I could not imagine to walk like these absolute troupers, they have such strength and resilience.
I only have to cycle 25 kilometers to school and when I arrive I feel dead and these kids have to walk and have to cope with nature. Something unimaginable for Europe
What country are you from?
I’m so pissed all the boys has shoes expect the little girl 😩
is that all you took from this there's so much worse going on
😢
@MurkedlikeJ yeah i think soo
Don't be pissed off. Things are changing. By now more girls will be going to school. I believe there is education and education. I would prefer an education where everyone shares there wealth and knowledge freely and live according to natural law with innate survival skills.. Where the world is heading you need to have the skills these kids have. Not the first world.
