In the midst of difficult times, resilience and innovation continue to shine. Last month, we hosted Sudan’s first Demo Day since the war – a powerful reminder that entrepreneurship can drive progress even in adversity.
Our Programme Manager Khansa Alhag shared a message of hope before the event, emphasising the strength of Sudanese entrepreneurs and the importance of supporting them on their journey. Watch the video to hear her words of encouragement.
