There are 3 ways you can step up
"When capital, goods, and money move so freely across the world, why is that we 185,000 refugees are stuck in a camp for more than 20 years. Can you help us get access to marketable skills and connect us to global opportunities?" challenged Mohammed Hassan, Refugee-Co-Chair, World Economic Forum, Davos 2019

We practised these new skills by creating websites and social media pages for five Kakuma Schools
Apr 19
We ran many hackathons to reinforce the refugee's skills by bringing in experts from the field

We continue to simplify and reinforce each step by using world-class platforms like Hootsuite and BuzzSumo
We trained the refugees in the camp on social media marketing because of the exponential growth of its global appeal as a highly marketable skill. It can be executed locally whilst achieving measurable results that can be showcased.
