🌟Meet Anan Daud Kandar- From Trainee to Trailblazer🌟 When Konexio's Digital Inclusion Program (DIP) launched, Anan Daud was filled with excitement at the thought of learning new skills and finding a job. Originally from South Sudan and now residing in Kakuma Refugee Camp with her sister and mother, she saw the training as a golden opportunity to support her family. Over six months, Anan mastered skills like data entry, graphic design, and data scraping. Her hard work paid off as she quickly secured digital freelance work on platforms like Appen, Upwork, and Freelancer. 🙌 Today, Anan volunteers as an administrative assistant at the Generation Aid Center, helping enroll new students and manage data. As she nears the end of her internship, she’s hopeful for a full-time role. 🌱 Anan’s journey from student to valued team member is a powerful reminder that with the right skills and determination, it's possible to create a brighter future. 💪 #DigitalInclusion #Empowerment #RefugeeResilience #SkillsForSuccess #KonexioImpact #WomenInTech
