ImageDescription	Dzaleka refugee camp resident, Remy Gakwaya, who is captured here teaching app-building, is the founder of takenoLAB, an organization that teaches software engineering and digital skills to refugees and the host community in Malawi. The idea behind the program is that these skills can be applied to compete for online employment and community technological development. Gakwaya, through takenoLAB, has recently partnered with "Imagine Worldwide", a pilot project and tablet teaching app for children not enrolled in school. In addition he runs a program called Girl Smart Code where he focuses on empowering women and girls by teaching them computer programming skills and decreasing the achievement gap between girls and boys in technology creation. Gakwaya is a Bachelor of Arts in Business student at Southern New Hampshire University through the SNHU GEM program. Through his work, Gakwaya has reached more than 700 students. He is looking forward to expanding his work as he recently received a $90,000 grant from trustees of the board at Southern New Hampshire University to build a new home for takenoLAB and to create a center for entrepreneurship in Dzaleka refugee camp. "I would like to give many people who are less privileged an opportunity to learn and create different technologies," he says. "I believe that the power of creativity and innovation of technologies can be used to change people's lives regardless the location and scarcity of resource that the individuals might be experiencing," he adds.

Entrepreneurship for Migrants and Refugees

Remy Gakwaya is the founder of takenoLAB, an organization that teaches software engineering and digital skills to refugees and the host community in Malawi. The idea behind it is that these skills are transferable and can be applied to compete for online employment and support community technological development. UNCTAD, in partnership with the International Organization for Migration and the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) opened a photo exhibit in Geneva, Switzerland, on 18 November 2019 to show how migrant and refugee entrepreneurs contribute to the economic and social development of their host and origin countries. The exhibit was organized as part of Global Entrepreneurship Week 2019 and the photos were displayed in the Palais des Nations.
