About it | Platform Africa is a youth-led refugee initiative that is geared towards creating opportunities and/or empowering practical refugee communities. Founded in 2017, we use technology, peacebuilding, and skills development to help refugees create self-reliant, well-informed, and empowered communities that actively shape the social and economic change they desire. With an office at Rhino Camp Refugee Settlement, we (Platform Africa) provide a space that facilitates equal access for members of all cultures, religions, and genders to education and community empowerment through peacebuilding, youth skills development, and the meaningful use of technology |
