When the Digital Inclusion Program (DIP) was launched, Anan Daud was thrilled about the prospect of acquiring new skills and finding a job. Originally from South Sudan, Anan resides at the Kakuma Refugee Camp with her sister and mother. She saw the training as a golden opportunity to become digitally savvy and support her family.
Over the course of the six-month program, Anan delved into a variety of skills, including data entry, graphic design, and data scraping. She was determined and dedicated, and her hard work paid off. Upon completing the program, she ventured into digital freelancing, quickly securing meaningful work on platforms like Appen, Upwork, and Freelancer.
Today, Anan works with an NGO called Generation Aid Center in Kakuma, where she volunteers as an administrative assistant for their digital skills training program. Her responsibilities include enrolling new students and managing data entry tasks. As her internship nears its end, Anan is hopeful for a full-time position at the community-based organization.
Anan’s journey from a student in the DIP to a valuable team member at Generation Aid Center is a testament to her resilience and determination. Her story is a beacon of hope for many in the refugee camp, showing that with the right skills and opportunities, it is possible to build a better future.
