FROM SURVIVAL
TO STRATEGY.
We started as the New African Media group in Kakuma—a small collective of refugee youth with zero resources but infinite drive. We taught coding under trees and design on borrowed laptops.
Today, SIR is a registered, refugee-led powerhouse in Kenya. We don't ask for seat at the table; we build our own tables.
