YSAT is participating in Design for Second Life Innovations to bring information communications technology for development (ICT4D) to refugee settlements and displaced people to the digital world.
Technology has become an indispensable tool in today's rapidly evolving world, shaping how we learn, work, and innovate. When it comes to empowering youth and fostering a culture of innovation, the role of technology cannot be understated. As such, our goal is to empower refugee and host community youth with information communications technology (ICT) skills to explore alternative uses of Samsung devices to improve and promote resilient livelihood activities.
