Welcome to The
Labmobile project
In the quest to answer the question of what it takes to break the barriers preventing refugees from accessing skills development in remote refugee settlements, Platform Africa birthed the Labmobile project: a vehicle of change, transformation, and empowerment.
— As of 2018
Rhino refugee settlement was home to 123,243 refugees
As of 2018, the Rhino refugee settlement was home to 123,243 refugees majority of which are from South Sudan. Just as in other refugee settlements, refugees in the Rhino camp are faced with barriers to accessing education, training, employment, and cultural expression. This is due to the under-resourced nature of remote camps.
In 2018, the European Journalism Observatory published
In 2018, the European Journalism Observatory published a document that noted that media literacy gives refugees the ability to create their own content, tell their stories, and ably represent themselves online.
A goal of driving skills necessary for refugees
It is on grounds such as these that the Labmobile Project defies distance and strives to ‘carry’ accessibility to the remotest parts of Rhino camp. The Labmobile has a goal of driving skills necessary for refugees to build fulfilling lives and make positive contributions to their communities.
Beyond the boundaries of refugee settlements
It is for this reason that our scope of influence and target group go beyond the boundaries of refugee settlements as a way of reaching the host communities too. We are aware of the crucial role that the media plays in shaping our society through ideologies and information that is shared.
Information has the Power to Influence
Information has the power to influence the decisions, actions, and reactions of people in society. We are also aware that misinformation plays a big role in perpetuating differences between people and violence resulting from hate speech. We thus envision an empowered and skilled community of refugees and hosts who can rightly represent themselves socially and financially with respect and tolerance.
