The number of people who have been forcibly displaced continues to increase alarmingly; as of mid 2022, the UNHCR has reported that for the first time on record, the number of forcibly displaced people worldwide has surpassed 100 million. This is a staggering figure in itself, but another tragedy of the enormity of this number is that it often overshadows the fact that every one of those 100+ million is a distinct individual who has had their life irrevocably altered and their inspiring story tends to be buried under the statistics. During the first edition of the Migration Summit in 2022, we hosted various storytelling sessions where we heard from displaced individuals, with the aim of humanising these statistics. Similar to these sessions, we are looking to amplify the voices of some incredible individuals who have overcome obstacles far beyond our imagination. The aim of this podcast is to share the journeys of six individuals striving for the dignified life they deserve. Given that education and employment are often a pivotal part of the road to a financially stable, dignified life, this podcast will share insight on their journeys, with a focus on their education paths and livelihoods. In this podcast, we hope to contribute to the shift in the narrative of refugees across the world and encourage stakeholders and listeners alike to take action. We do not want the label of refugee to define these individuals as powerless victims, instead, we intend to portray them as the determined individuals that they are with full agency to succeed in any way they desire, given the right resources. This podcast series will consist of seven episodes. It will be released in January, in the run-up to the Migration Summit 2023 which will explore the theme “Co-creating pathways to learning, livelihood, and dignity”.

    Unpacking the Choose Africa campaign and what it means for the future of employment and youth empowerment in Africa

    Welcome to Voices of Resilience Season 3, brought to you by Na'amal, a non-profit and social enterprise dedicated to empowering forcibly displaced individuals through dignified remote work. In this episode, we delve into the exciting and sometimes challenging landscape of AI and Africa's digital future. Co-hosted by Clay Lowe and Lorraine Charles, this conversation features Emmanuel Trinity, social entrepreneur, creative director, and founder of Era92, a Ugandan creative agency and impact organization that equips young people from underserved communities with digital and creative skills. Growing up in the slums of Kampala, Emmanuel experienced firsthand the cycle of poverty and lack of opportunity. Out of that experience, he launched Era92 as a mission-driven agency that not only delivers world-class branding and design for global clients, but also funds training for youth through its Elevate program. To date, Era92 has trained and placed hundreds of young people into dignified digital jobs, and with the #HireAfrica campaign, Emmanuel is working toward creating 10,000 jobs by 2025 and 100,000 by 2032. This episode dives deep into Emmanuel’s journey, the Era92 model of combining business with impact, and why Africa’s “youth bulge” represents not a crisis but a once-in-a-generation opportunity to position the continent as a global hub for creative and digital labor. About Our GuestEmmanuel Trinity is the founder of Era92, a social enterprise and creative agency in Uganda equipping disadvantaged youth with digital skills and connecting them to meaningful work opportunities. Through initiatives like the Elevate program and the Choose Africa campaign, Emmanuel is reimagining how Africa’s young talent can meet global demand for digital services.

In this episode, we delve into the exciting and sometimes challenging landscape of AI and Africa's digital future. In this powerful episode, we are joined by Sherrifa, a resilient learner originally from Sudan, now based in Ethiopia. Her story is one of determination, heartbreak, and healing, a journey shaped by years of systemic exclusion from education and reignited by a single opportunity to learn again. Hosted by Clay Lowe, this conversation highlights the emotional and practical realities of navigating displacement, and how trust-based learning and community support can help restore confidence, purpose, and dreams once thought lost. About Our Guest: Sherrifa arrived in Addis Ababa six and a half years ago with a dream to continue her education. But she was repeatedly denied access due to bureaucratic barriers and expired academic documents. Despite the setbacks, she found ways to survive, tutoring, taking informal jobs, and confronting depression and self-doubt. Everything shifted when she joined Na’amal. The program reconnected her to learning, introduced her to digital skills and remote work, and most importantly, helped her reclaim her sense of worth and possibility.

    Big Ideas for Big Problems: Addressing Connectivity

    Welcome to Voices of Resilience Season 3, brought to you by Na'amal, a non-profit and social enterprise dedicated to empowering forcibly displaced individuals through dignified remote work. In this episode, we delve into the exciting and sometimes challenging landscape of AI and Africa's digital future. In this episode, we explore one of the biggest barriers to digital inclusion: connectivity. Without access to infrastructure and the internet, displaced individuals are excluded from the very systems meant to empower them.

What does digital exclusion actually look like on the ground, and what does it take to overcome it?Barriers to Access From missing infrastructure to limited policy support, Mea and Troy dive into the systemic issues that block connectivity in camps and host communities. They also share their experiences working with local authorities and international bodies to bring internet access to the most underserved.What’s Working We hear real-life examples of success, including Unconnected’s work with community entrepreneurs and EdgeCase’s affordable edge connectivity systems. Both guests explain how partnerships across private, public, and nonprofit sectors are central to long-term solutions.Big Ideas for Bold Change In the second half of the episode, the group tackles key questions: How can we make connectivity meaningful, beyond just access?What ethical concerns arise when bringing vulnerable communities online?And if resources were no issue, what moonshot ideas would they launch to bridge the digital divide?Connect with Us: Na'amal Website: namal.orgLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/naamal/posts/?feedView=all Instagram: _naamal_
