Why could remote work be a solution to refugee livelihoods?

Whether because of legal limitations, language barriers, or simply a lack of local opportunity, many refugees struggle to secure employment. Often, refugees have not had the opportunity to receive sufficient education or work experience. With support, remote work can be the key to overcoming these employment obstacles.

Employment empowers refugees to live a dignified and financially independent life, enabling them to support their own families and improve the quality of their lives. Refugee access to employment not only positively impacts the individual, but also the economy of the host country. We strive to make this possible.

Our Impact

Migration is not a problem to be solved. It is human reality to be managed.

Looking back at my life, perhaps this was the single most important course I have ever taken. This course introduced me to the intellectual enterprise of programming and computer science as a tool to solve real-world analytical problems using Python.

I contracted a Na’amal alumni as web site editing and administration support over a year ago, they have been a wonderful resource and addition to my freelance team!

They knew we were going through a lot as we were different people from different backgrounds. After joining Na’amal each week, we learnt how to deal with challenges. Time management was one of them for me. Now I’m able to organise my tasks based on the day.
