Foundation

Na’amal Foundation, built for dignified digital work.

Stichting Na’amal equips forcibly displaced people with the skills, support, and opportunities to earn a living in the global digital economy — with transparency, unpaid board governance, and programmes funded project by project.

A bright workspace with plants and a desk — the kind of setting remote digital work makes possible.
Who we are

A better way to earn a living.

Too many forcibly displaced people are pushed into informal work in precarious conditions. Na’amal exists because the digital labour market offers another route — one that treats people as workers with agency, not as a problem to manage.

We focus on the human skills remote work demands, partner with others for digital skills training, and then help learners pursue remote jobs that travel with them.

How we work

What the Foundation funds

Both soft skills and digital skills are required for work in the digital economy. The Foundation holds the space where those two meet.

  • Human skills for remote work

    We train refugees and other underrepresented communities in the soft skills the digital workplace asks for — communication, collaboration, and the habits that make remote work stick.

  • Partners for digital skills

    We collaborate with organisations that teach the technical curriculum, so learners leave with both the craft and the workplace readiness employers need.

  • A path into real jobs

    Training is not the finish line. After programmes end, we support learners as they pursue remote roles in the global digital economy.
