Of the 84 million refugees, 6 million+ live in 100s of refugee camps with a $72 billion pent-up productivity. Most of these forgotten refugees have lived in these camps for decades without becoming productive. One of them was Mohamed Hassan from the Kakuma Refugee Camp, who challenged 1000s of CEOs at WEF Davos 2019 in response to Satya Nadella's question. Inspired by this challenge, we started a social impact enterprise reskilling thousands of refugees into digital professionals and deploying them with global clients to deliver digital marketing, sales and recruitment. Together with UNHCR, we started a pilot of 5 refugee graduates in 2019 and have crossed 1000 refugee graduates across eight different camps. Over three years, we have supported hundreds of companies, from start-ups to scale-ups to billion-dollar corporations. This year, we plan to scale the venture to 2,000 refugee graduates in Kakuma and then take it to the top 10 refugee camps. We aim to reskill and employ 1 million of these forgotten refugees in 1 marketable skill and deliver $1 billion in revenue by 2032.
