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 decided to Step Up and make contact with the Kakuma Refugee Camp
Jan 19
We selected five refugees along with Kakuma UNHCR authorities to be our pilot team
Feb 19
We designed and executed a step-by-step plan for training these five refugees in social media marketing
Mar 19
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
May 19
Based on the hackathon results, we came up with a step-by-step guide for executing social media campaigns
Jun 19
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.

We believe @Google Stories for @WordPress will be a hit in the coming months given its simplicity and power for narrating the story. Combine that with the scale of WordPress websites and the increased searchability from Google, that's powerful. Check out our story, we are live. https://t.co/PJpQqq9bC4

When @Google can't find their own product in search, then surely it's new and their search algorithms are unbiased.

@richardodurrant @BBCNews @Channel4News @SkyNews Many thanks @richardodurrant for your kind words. So far it has been a cosy journey with a small number of refugees. The real challenge starts now when we need to move from 5 to 50 to 500 to 5 million refugees. So yes, it would help if the big ones come to raise the awareness 👍
This is bloody amazing. Why can’t we have more stories like this in our news @BBCNews @Channel4News @SkyNews ???? https://t.co/YDTmWVf0g0
@picktang It's funny you say this. For nearly 18 months, this is pretty much what we have found. "Teaching Digital Marketing" through just digital does not work. Human touch is extremely crucial for getting it right.
Nujeen Mustafa is a Syrian refugee who fled the country and crossed Europe in her wheelchair in 2015, but where is she now?

It's been more than a year since we started our journey of reskilling refugees and finding them opportunities that pay. So far we have learned a thousand ways why some things did not work but we have also learned a few that worked like magic. One of them is @LumenFive videos. @wef https://t.co/czRVXhMvb7
