Want to Help Refugees Thrive? This Unlikely Speaker at the World Economic Forum Tells You All You Need to Know

Back in Davos, Mohammed challenged participants: “My story is inspiring and I get that. But what do I inspire you to do?”.

Now is not the time for donations or charity to support the refugee crisis. Mohammed put a face and a story to what leading economists know: There is a human capital shortage. Simply put, we do not have enough of the right talent to create inclusive businesses and a more sustainable planet.

Now is the time to create social enterprise models that create immediate employment and educational opportunities for refugees, and in the long-term, demonstrate to governments that there are constructive pathways for refugees to find homes in new counties where they can help elevate the quality of life for themselves, and all those that surround them.
