Life Changing Work for Women Refugees

Project presentation

The topic of refugees exploded when the photo of 2-year-old Aylan Kurdy’s dead body on the Turkish shores went viral. Six years later, the number of individuals forced to flee continues to rise, worsening the worldwide issue of displacement. Refugees often spend months or years waiting for papers or the ability to cross borders and are frequently left idle and without no opportunities to earn income. NaTakallam firstly tackles the need to access an income for refugees, IDPs, and women in displaced communities.

When the Ukraine War began, millions of women lost their financial stability. We immediately took action to hire women as remote language tutors and translators, providing them a source of income as well as a chance to connect with people across the globe who wanted to support and learn the language. Our project seeks to formalize and expand these actions for more women refugees.



Organization presentation

NaTakallam leverages the freelance digital economy to provide income to refugees, displaced persons & their host community members, by hiring them as online tutors, teachers, translators & cultural exchange partners, regardless of their location and status.

As a natural byproduct, NaTakallam builds bridges and changes the narrative around global displacement.
