The Opportunity: Turning Refugees into E‑Commerce Store Owners & Entrepreneurs
Visual cue — Problem‑to‑Opportunity iceberg illustration
Conflict‑affected regions are rich in entrepreneurial spirit but lack:
Specialised e‑commerce know‑how
Practical digital‑marketing skills to reach buyers beyond borders
Expert knowledge – many entrepreneurs lack the know-how to access regional markets like Saudi Arabia
SPARK needed a turn‑key curriculum that transformed potential into revenue for refugee‑led micro‑businesses in Türkiye.
