Abstract
This Article, published on July 2, 2025, consists of an Op-Ed written by Reeta Roy, detailing a recent visit to the Kauma refugee settlement in Kenya. The article recognizes Africa's 45 million displaced people as an economic opportunity, and discusses how the Mastercard Foundation has committed $300 million to UNHCR. This funding supports over 500,000 youth in education and helps 200,000 (70% women) find dignified work. The goal is to build long-term economic pathways, transform settlements into dynamic centres, and strengthen refugee-led solutions. This builds upon demonstrated success in places like Kakuma.
