From conflict to code, Khaled’s mission to rebuild through tech..
What if your refugee story became the blueprint for empowering an entire generation?
An open conversation with someone I deeply admire: Khaled Shaaban, Syrian refugee, social entrepreneur and founder of Subul Impact Outsourcing. His journey of resilience, empowerment and transformation is a true testament to defying expectations and creating meaningful systemic change.
In our deep dive, we explored key challenges, turning points and the moments that reshaped his path to success!
What We Explored:
👉🏾 Subul’s mission: creating remote tech job pathways for youth and women in Syria and the Middle East;
👉🏾 Economic empowerment: measuring impact by how income changes communities;
👉🏾 Identity as power: turning refugee status into a badge of leadership and resilience;
👉🏾 Trauma & drive: channeling the pain of war into a force for rebuilding;
👉🏾 Funding for impact: raising €1M to match 10,000 talents with European tech roles!
Nuggets of Empowerment:
🙌🏾 This is a duty, not a choice: "when mission becomes bigger than self";
🙌🏾 Success is never self-made: "it takes a community to rise";
🙌🏾 We can solve one problem by solving another: "tech as a tool for systemic change!
