For years, I thought great training was about content. Better slides. Smarter facilitators. More practical examples. And while all of that matters, here’s what building I-Train Africa has taught me the hard way: Training does not fail because people don’t learn. It fails because organisations don’t build a structure around what people learn. This realisation […]

When I first started working on climate-related programming at the Museum for the United Nations (UN Live), the challenge wasn’t technology or funding, it was mindset. We were building a global climate awareness experience called “Global We,” and it was meant to run in 23 locations across 5 time zones. The problem we were solving

SDG 12: Responsible Consumption And Production When people hear “responsible consumption,” they often think about plastic straws or waste separation.

At the height of my time working as Global Program Coordinator for the Museum for the United Nations (UN Live), I was tasked with a project that

When Aisha joined our program, she didn’t believe she belonged. She had never used a digital platform, didn’t finish secondary school, and had already internalised the belief that some things weren’t “for people like her.” But two weeks in, after starting with a mindset module and beginner-friendly digital skills, she began asking questions, submitting assignments,

The biggest lie in education is that once you have content, you’re ready to teach. Many educators believe that, but that is because many have not encountered the design thinking methodology. When I began building the Skilled For Work Academy, I didn’t want just another digital course. I wanted transformation. I wanted a program that

(SDG 9: Industry, Innovation & Infrastructure) We talk about innovation a lot in Africa and there’s good reason to be excited. From fintech to climate tech, youth led startups are solving real problems and attracting global attention. But here’s a hard truth: ideas alone don’t drive innovation. People do. And if the people behind the
