Our mission is clear: to motivate, train, and equip refugees in Uganda with essential language and digital skills, empowering them to unlock their full potential. We recently received valuable feedback from one of our dedicated students, Abdifatah Mohamud, who expressed his appreciation for our hands-on approach and engaging learning environment. Here’s what he shared: “𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘴𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘭𝘺 𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘱𝘦𝘥 𝘮𝘦 𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘱𝘵𝘴 𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘐 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘧𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘭𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘐'𝘷𝘦 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘯𝘦𝘥.
