    • We believe in the power of learning.

      We empower migrants and refugees by

      giving them a voice and the tools they need

      to make a difference.

    •  

      Refugees and migrants live on the margins of society.

      They lack access to quality education, and livelihood and are vulnerable to social exclusion.

      SDI Academy blends digital media, in-person training, and rigorous data collection to design and deliver high-quality courses that up-skill immigrants and help them assimilate into the mainstream. By partnering with corporations, employers, and international agencies we are working towards creating safer and more productive workplaces by providing communication, IT, Financial literacy & Entrepreneurship training.
