It might sound like a pretty outlandish idea that an iPhone application can provide jobs for refugees in Kenya, but the folks behind the Give Work App are dreaming big, writes Erica Liepmann, Associate Editor at Causecast.
Dadaab, Kenya is home to extreme poverty and the largest refugee camp in the world. Through the Give Work system, refugees in Dadaab receive Internet training and well-paying, dignified jobs.
How does it work?
When you complete one simple task on your iPhone or iTouch, the same task is assigned to a trained refugee in Kenya for quality assurance purposes. Once the task is completed and verified, the refugee is paid for the work the two of you collaborated on.
Why Give Work? 41 million refugees have lost their home and livelihood due to violent conflict. Many live on less than $1 a day. Every task you do is real work for real companies, and gives vital income to a refugee. The more you work, the more you help. And the more you help, the more pride you claim. The Give Work application includes user statistics and a breakdown reflecting how your micro-volunteering efforts have made a valuable difference in refugees’ lives.
