"Two years ago, the Norwegian Refugee Council offered me a life-changing opportunity to learn online without data costs. As a Congolese refugee with limited formal education in Uganda, I wasn't fully prepared for the exposure it would bring—but it transformed my life. Through this program, I’ve built valuable skills, improved my English, and discovered online opportunities, leading me to pursue a career in social media marketing and recruitment. I’ve also earned a certificate in graphic design and a diploma in human resource management. This opportunity has been a turning point—helping me grow professionally while reducing the cost of learning through free internet access. I’m deeply grateful for the support and stability this program has provided."
