Social Shifters x Amazon 2022 Global Refugee Challenge

In 2021, 89 million people worldwide were forced to flee their homes due to conflicts, natural disasters, fear of persecution, and human rights violations. As new refugee crises emerge, and as existing ones reignite or intensify, the need for action is now.

The Global Refugee Challenge is designed to enable young people (18-30 years) to explore, start and grow ideas that will help create a settled future for refugees.

They are looking for ideas, projects, and business solutions that will support refugees and enable them to rebuild their lives. We welcome ideas at any stage and from anywhere in the world
