While COVID-19 disrupted lives, they saw an opportunity to rebuild. Businesses were struggling to adapt online. Students were stuck at home, skills frozen in time. So, they launched iM252 Academy—Somalia’s first fully digital learning platform. From Basic computer and digital skills, SEO to e-commerce, they trained thousands to thrive in a remote-first world.
