Cardenas: People are arriving here from very difficult realities - and all the things they have to pass to be here. It’s not easy. We have to know what is happening. We need information, empathy, and respect.

With the help of a CAF Resilience grant, @RipeLearning could move its language and digital skills courses for refugees and migrants online.
The online lessons also helped to reduce loneliness and isolation among learners.
