South Sundanese video game developer Lual Mayen taught himself how to code in a refugee camp.
He’s now a CEO making games to promote peace. Mayen created “Salaam,” which puts players in the shoes of a refugee fleeing war. The game is now launching a new feature that transfers all the real money players spend in the game to a charitable fund for refugees.

"When people buy food in the game, you’re actually buying food for somebody in the refugee camp. It’s connecting the virtual world and the reality on the ground.”
