 Anne is a young refugee currently enrolled in our second Nairobi DIP. She is the second-born daughter of a South Sudanese family, and is interested in seeking online employment because the livelihood opportunities are more flexible and sustainable.
Though Anne is new to the world of freelance, she has taken up the training with dedication and gusto! So far, she has enjoyed learning how to use different computer applications, such as Excel. Anne’s answers have been lightly edited for accuracy and clarity.

 Cheruto is one of our new DIP students in the Kakuma Refugee Camp. Cherto is curious to learn skills like digital marketing, spreadsheets, and even digital finance.
This new cohort includes 35 female refugees from diverse backgrounds, who started their freelancing journey April 25th. We asked our new students to share a little about themselves. This is the second interview in a series of four. Cheruto's interview has been lightly edited for clarity and accuracy.  Ring the graduation bells! Athraa and Abubakr have graduated from the Jordan DIP!
On May 5th, our students officially received their Konexio Digital Inclusion Program certification. Everyone has worked hard to make this dream a reality - Konexio, JRS Jordan, the ICT trainers, and most of all, our students! We asked Abubakr and Athraa to share their reflections on the program and their plans for the future. Abubakr and Athraa’s interviews have been lightly edited for clarity and accuracy.  With barely a moment’s rest, our ICT trainers are preparing their intro slides once again for DIP Jordan cohort 2! This new cohort has 36 students from an array of country and educational backgrounds – but all share an eagerness to learn more about the world of digital freelance.
We sat down with Ru’a and Noor to take a pulse check on how they are feeling about the new cohort. We asked about lessons learned, what they expect with the new cohort, and what they intend for the future! Ru’a and Noor’s interview has been lightly edited for clarity and accuracy.
 Asmaa and Andro are students in our first DIP Jordan Cohort. After 6 months of client negotiation role play, pivot tables, mass mailing practice, and more, these students will walk the stage and receive their Konexio Digital Inclusion Program certification. No more excel sheets and powerpoint presentations – at least in our classroom, anyways!
The students have done an excellent job throughout the semester,” says Rua, one of our ICT trainers in Jordan. “They are truly looking forward to a better future and they are ready to put their minds to it.” |
