War, Famine, Economic Devastation, Religious and Civil Persecution - These are the reasons why someone makes the fateful decision to flee their homeland in a need to secure basic safety, a better life for their children and access to human rights.

1976km is an international platform focusing on stories of the people from the frontline of the global refugee crisis. This week I chat with founders Sonia & Douglas, both of whom come from humanitarian backgrounds, with extensive experience working in humanitarian crisis and education in the field.

In the podcast we uncover the story behind 1976km, named to honour the distance of the dangerous journeys refugees have taken thus far.

The team also introduce us to their new program ReFOCUS, a platform providing access and training on media creation tools to help refugees develop marketable skills and develop career paths.
