The problem
Young people in Iraq have few good ways to earn a steady wage—often with no other choices but poverty or life in a militia.
The solution
Create hundreds of tech jobs—for young people with few opportunities, refugees, and people with disabilities—and disrupt the cycle of violence with meaningful work.
- 2 in 3 are working or continuing their education within a few months of completing their training.
- More than half of these working entrepreneurs make more than the average salary in Iraq.
- Nearly half our student entrepreneurs are women.
