👉🏽3 out of every 4 young people in Kakuma Refugee Camp are without work. This statistic isn’t just a number—it’s a stark reminder of the untapped potential and dreams put on hold. These are young individuals, full of energy and ambition, yet trapped in a cycle of unemployment, not because they lack talent or drive, but because opportunities are scarce in a place where the odds are stacked against them😢. Imagine the frustration of having the will to succeed but no way to channel it.  It's a reality that stifles hope and fuels a sense of resignation. ☝🏽But with programs like our @CreativeGatewayprogram, there's a glimmer of change—an avenue where skills can be nurtured, and that dormant potential can finally be realized. For the last year, we have been training refugee youth in 3D modeling skills, offering them a unique opportunity to step into the digital age and find remote work opportunities. So far, we have trained two cohorts of 3D modelers and are on the verge of welcoming a third💻💻. 👩🏽🎓👨🏽🎓As the number of our graduates grows, so does the need for creative agencies to step up and provide the next crucial step in their journey. We are looking to partner up with creative agencies that are passionate about making a positive difference in society. 👍🏽If you are a 3D modeling expert, industry professional, or mentor willing to support our cause, please reach out to us at vincent@ambitiousafrica.org.

In the past, training programs for refugees have primarily focused on honing manual skills such as basket weaving🧺, hairdressing💆🏿, and masonry👷🏾, among others. Why? Well, for starters, these skills are super practical. Think about it – in refugee camps where resources are scarce and basic infrastructure is needed, these skills enable refugees to address immediate needs within the camp environment. Plus, these trades often require minimal equipment and can be learned relatively quickly and often offer opportunities for refugees to start their own businesses and earn some income, which can be a game-changer for their self-sufficiency. 🖥️🖱️But with the digital world booming, there's a whole new set of skills in demand. Jobs in tech, like programming, animation, 3d modelling are growing fast. Unlike jobs that need physical skills, these digital jobs can be done from anywhere, opening up lots of opportunities. Teaching refugees digital skills isn't just about getting them a job👨🏽💼; it's about helping them join the modern workforce and be part of the global economy🧑🏽💼. At Ambitious Africa, we couldn't be prouder of the strides that our @thecreativeGatewayprogram in Kakuma Refugee Camp is making, empowering refugee youth with the tools they need to thrive in the digital age. @thecreativegatewayprogram #kakumarefugeecamp #refugeeempowerment #refugeeentrepreneurship #youthemploykment #africanyouth
